The Clean Mama's Guide to a Peaceful Home

Effortless Systems and Joyful Rituals for a Calm, Cozy Home

By: Becky Rapinchuk

Narrated by: Natalie Duke

The creator of the popular cleaning website Clean Mama and author of Clean Mama’s Guide to a Healthy Home shows you how to establish systems and rituals to transform your home into a clean, organized, and comfortable space for you and your family.

We all want our homes to be cozy and comfortable spaces where we can leave the challenges of the outside world behind and connect with our families. But too often the mess and disorder only add stress.

For years, Becky Rapinchuk has taught people how to simplify and improve cleaning routines, and now she reveals a game-changing method to help us find joy and make our chores effortless. By pairing up systems - how we get things done so that they become automatic - with rituals - tasks that bring calm and happiness - we can feel more at peace in our homes.

Walking listeners through each room of the house, Rapinchuk shows how to put new systems and rituals in place that will make the whole home operate more efficiently. Featuring decision trees, checklists, and space to reflect and record progress, Clean Mama’s Guide to a Peaceful Home makes homekeeping a breeze, allowing us to slow down and focus on the things that really matter.

Good tools

I obviously listened to this because I need some help tidying my life. I did sort of expect it to move like every other book of this nature where it just tells you all the obvious stuff that you already know. However, I actually learned a lot of great tips and I took lots of notes that I can use as I get started on this new adventure. Definitely worth the listen.

Provided Many Useful tips and Ideas

I was surprised how many of her routines I use. Being a grandmother raising 3 g’kids I learned what to do to keep the clutter at bay. I have a trick though she did not use to keep the linen closed organized when you have kids. Roll the bath towel. Every time my kiddos pulled out a folded bath towel the entire closet ended up a mess thus was a true struggle. I noticed the department stores rolled their towel and went to this method. Bingo. It works perfectly
.

Great tips!

I’ve read several books on organizing and decluttering and got a lot out of this one! Highly recommend for people who want guidance on creating better systems for a clean and organized home. The author is encouraging without being judgey/preachy. I’ve listened a couple of times.

Great book - very helpful realistic tips and strategies

I appreciate this book and all of Becky‘s gentle guidance and encouragement. I feel her suggestions are quite doable even when it takes some time to get there, depending on your home situation. And I greatly appreciate her ideas on how to establish and create regular routines that can also be enjoyable in order to maintain a clean organized home - and even if your home is not currently clean and organized her ideas and systems create ways to do so little by little for the most part so as to not be overwhelming and creating those realistic daily and weekly habits which can maintain it 🙏💜

SO helpful!

This book is a huge blessing for anyone who hasn’t yet figured out routines for keeping a (nearly) perfect home! Narrator did a good job too. Make sure to access the accompanying PDF!

Excellent resource

This book is a great resource for those who need help creating and managing a home. Or, for those who would like to change and refresh their current homekeeping systems. I learned a great deal from this book and will be referring back to it often!

It's a great book and an instant big help. Thanks!

As a trucker, that's used to just making the money and having a woman clean the house. Now that I am single and remodeling my house, I lacked the cleaning essence that my ex did. listen to a minimist book that helped me get rid of a lot of items accumulated over the last 20 years. I then needed a cleaning motivation book.

Luckily, this book was the first suggestion. I drive overnight, so once I start listening to the book, I set 6 to sleep from noon to 6 pm and start cleaning the mission and listen to rest on the firetv audible app while cleaning. I can't believe how much I got done in 2.5 hours and finished the book. I was going to hire a cleaning company but it's not necessary now.

Big thanks to Becky, the author! I will get other books and I just visit the website. This is a big help for busy adults who don't believe they have enough time to do cleaning tasks in a short amount of time.

A very Useful book. Even for people with ADD/ADHD

Loved it and have read it again and again and again!

For me who have just recently been diagnosed with inattentive ADD this book has been a liberating book to read... A real Game changer!

i am valuing this book very high...
It takes the whole cleaning ritual to another level, at least for me...

Have started to implement the guidelines in this book and can only say it is changing my whole life, but especially, my relattion to Cleanig and Cleaning routines. LOVE IT!💖🙏🏻💖

Nasally Voice, Pretty Good Book

The narrators voice is nasally, which is distracting and annoying. It is one of the better books about decluttering. I have read them all. The author does come from a point of privilege though; she tells you to replaced things that not everybody can necessarily afford to replace(towels, etc.).

nothing groundbreaking

This isn't the first productivity book or program I've read so I didn't think it was super ground breaking. However it's an easy listen (the narrator has a nice voice) and it would probably be very helpful for someone really struggling with running a home (I guess with 3 kids of my own, I've already learned a lot about systems and routines). I did like her tips on incorporating certain fragrances in her cleaning routines and will be trying her recipe for her kitchen sink scrub
