Clean Like a Man: Housekeeping for Men (and the Women Who Love Them)
By Tom McNulty
Most men have a problem with cleaning house: They don’t know how to do it, and they don’t particularly want to learn. The results are usually a messy house or a bitter spouse or both. Clean Like a Man is the solution. Written specifically for the attention-challenged and motivation-impaired male, it’s the first and only housekeeping primer that tells men how to clean the house their way: getting everything done quickly and easily, without getting to Felix Unger about it. It’s such a great approach to housekeeping that women will love it too.

Do you have advice to share with other COH on household cleaning/routines?
