The Country Cleans Home Set

The Home Set

Everything I know about a house, in one set.

The Mix Book is the hundred recipes. The Fix Book is what's actually wrong. The Year Book is the one I should've written first: which Saturday, in which month, so the other two never have to happen.

The Math

What the bottles cost. What not knowing costs.

Two different bills. The first one you pay a few dollars at a time and never add up. The second one comes all at once, and it's the one that hurts.

Under your sink

Glass cleaner, degreaser, shower spray, grout cleaner, toilet bowl, oven, carpet spot, upholstery, laundry pre-treat, stainless polish, wood polish, mildew spray, odor spray.

Thirteen bottles. Four or five dollars each, one job each, bought again every couple of months.

Under Dale's sink

Dish soap, baking soda, white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, peroxide, oxygen bleach, salt, lemon, cornstarch, borax, washing soda, citric acid, glycerin, olive oil, distilled water.

Fifteen things. A hundred mixes. Most of them you already own.

The whole Set is $47. That's ten bottles, once.

What you thought. What it actually was. What it would've cost.

Straight off the table at the back of the Fix Book. Every number below is in the book, with the page it came from.

What you thought	What it actually was	What it would've cost	Call
Self clean is free and saves an evening	900 degrees cooking the control board and the thermal fuse	About $400 on an oven that worked that morning	F63
The dishwasher's worn out	A clogged filter washing your plates in the water that just came off 'em	A $500 machine, and a $100 to $200 service call before that	F29
The fridge is old and runs all the time	Condenser coils wearing a blanket of dust	A $1,000-plus appliance, because a compressor that never rests fails early	F32
The cabinet doors are worn out	Cooking oil cross-linked into a soft varnish	Refacing a kitchen, low thousands	F01
A tablet in the tank keeps the toilet clean	Chlorine turning every rubber seal hard	A plumber at $150 to $300, over a $9 flapper	F56
The roof's failing, look at the streaks	Algae, alive, staining the shingle, not wearing it out	A roof, $8,000 to $15,000, because a stained roof is not a failing one	F13
The dryer's just slow with age	The duct packed with lint next to a heating element	A dryer at minimum, a house at worst	F65

That's seven rows off a table that runs five pages. The book that tells you which month each of those starts is in the Set.

The Fix Book · 90 problems, identified · 11 chapters

A call is a thing correctly identified, and what changes once you know.

Half of them don't need a mix at all. The answer is an order, or a filter, or put your wallet away.

The Walk

You start here. About an hour, room by room, with a pen and a flashlight, looking at the things nobody ever told you to look at. You come out with a list of what your house has actually got, and every line has a page number next to it.

1 · The grease that stopped being grease6 calls

The cabinet doors above the stove, the wall that changed color, the ceiling and the light switch, the blinds that aren't dusty, the range hood filter that looks broken

2 · Rock, not dirt6 calls

The shower glass that never comes clear, the shower head with half its holes blocked, the kettle, the toilet ring, the chrome that spots again by Tuesday

3 · It's alive6 calls

The black streaks down your roof, the green on the siding, the black line in the grout, the fold in the washer door gasket, the little flies round the sink

4 · Carbon, not mess5 calls

The black on the bottom of your pan, oven racks gone black, the burnt ring on the cooktop, the baking sheets you're ashamed of, the air fryer basket

5 · It isn't dirty, it's coated5 calls

The vanity door that never comes clean, the window tracks, the foggy oven door glass, the shower door channel, the range control panel

See the full contents

6 · It ain't broke, it's choked6 calls

The dishwasher that stopped cleaning, the bathroom fan that never dries the room, the dryer duct, behind the fridge, the range hood

7 · Do it in this order10 calls

Dry brush before you wet it, pull the hair before the fizz, blot never rub, mist never soak, test the hidden corner and wait

8 · You can't scrub it, you gotta soak it8 calls

The bag of vinegar on the shower head, steaming the microwave loose, oven racks in the tub overnight, why bleach fails on a vertical seam

9 · Twenty-three ways to wreck it23 calls

Bleach on wood. A scrubby on the oven control panel. The self clean cycle. A pressure washer on shingles. Steel wool on stainless. This is the chapter people photograph and send to their sister.

10 · The cheap thing that beats the expensive thing7 calls

An old pillowcase for the fan blades, a ten dollar blacklight, a bag of cat litter, a pad of steel wool for the mouse gap

11 · When it ain't a cleaning job8 calls

Damp versus stain. Mold behind the drywall. Pantry moths the exterminator can't fix. Electrical and gas. When the surface is gone, not dirty, and nothing is bringing it back.

And at the back, the table that adds up what not knowing has been costing you. What you thought, what it actually was, what it would've cost. The first line is a roof.

The Year Book · 12 months · 5 room resets · when to call somebody

Which Saturday. In which month. In what order.

Every job points at a number in the other two books, so you never read the same method twice.

Part 1 · The year, month by month12 months

January the sills. February the fan cover. March the roof from the driveway. April the downspouts. May the fridge coils. June the slick step. July the hood filter. August the oven racks. September the dryer duct. October the cabinet doors. November read the couch tag. December behind the fridge. Each month: what the house is doing, the Saturday in order, the dangerous one, the spot check tonight, and the money line.

Part 2 · The room resets5 rooms

The kitchen in three hours, the bathroom in ninety minutes, the laundry room in an hour, the living room in two, the outside in a morning. Shopping list, order of operations, what you don't do.

Part 3 · When to call somebody

Plumber, electrician, roofer, HVAC, dryer vent, mold, pests, gutters. What a fair call commonly costs, the questions to ask, and the rule for when a repair isn't worth doing.

Part 4 · The money

What twelve Saturdays cost in the fifteen things, and what each one keeps you from buying, off the Fix Book's own table.

Part 5 · Pests, and the outside

Roaches, ants, drain flies, mice, pantry moths. Water first, then food, then the gap. No poisons. And the outside as a season, so nothing gets washed in the cold.

FAQ

What people ask before they buy.

Do I need all three?

No. Each one stands on its own. The Set is just the cheapest way to own them, and the only way to get the Year Book with the calendar. If your problem is "what do I use," start with the Mix Book. If your problem is "why does this keep coming back," start with the Fix Book. Where a call in the Fix Book needs a mixture, it gives you the number in the Mix Book, so you're never reading the same recipe twice. Whichever you buy first, the other one's offered cheaper on the next page.

Will the mixes work in my house?

They work on the surface, not the zip code. Hard water, soft water, old house, new house. Every mix tells you what it's for, what to test first, and the one way it goes wrong. The safety page at the front is short, read it first, and it covers almost every way this goes sideways.

I'm not handy. Is the Fix Book still for me?

It's more for you than for anybody. Ninety calls, and most of them come down to pulling a filter out, or doing two steps in the other order, or not doing the thing that was making it worse. A whole chapter is just things not to do. And when it's not a cleaning job, it says so and tells you who to call.

Is it a real book I can hold?

It's a PDF. Reads fine on a phone with one hand while the other one holds the rag. Print whatever pages you want. The Walk Sheet and the Year Round Checklist are made to be printed.

What if it's not for me?

Reply to your receipt within 30 days and I'll refund you, all of it. No hassle, no questions.

Is there anything else to buy?

No subscription, nothing that renews. If you buy the Set there's nothing left to offer you. If you buy one book, the only other thing you'll ever be offered is the others.

It was never you.

Everything I know about a house, in one set.
