Everything you need to know about laundry, cleaning, and basic home repairs-from the TikTok star who made bluing a thing, showed you how to fold a fitted sheet, and taught you to properly use your (caulk) gun. "[Melissa Pateras] makes chores enjoyable in her bawdy debut. . . . Doing laundry has never sounded so fun."-Publishers Weekly Melissa Dilkes Pateras is the most competent housekeeper, DIY-project master, and home repair genius that you´ve ever fantasized about becoming. When she followed her kids on to TikTok, she discovered a community hungry for her approachable, tongue-in-cheek advice on everything from balls-dryer balls, that is-to why color-coded closets are a spiritual experience. She doesn´t expect you to know what you were never taught, and she doesn´t care about transforming your home into a minimal, beige Instagram post; she simply wants to help make your life easier. Can housekeeping be fun? Whether you´re terrified of your laundry pile or have an inner handyperson who´s been longing for their moment, A Dirty Guide to a Clean Home is a joyful all-purpose guide to organizing, cleaning, laundry, repairs, and beyond. As Melissa says, "Your home shouldn´t be your adversary."
