August's most compelling tips
Bathroom: Squeegee droplets off shower walls, then spray with water/ Lemon Lysol as you step out. No mold or mildew ever! Kitchen: Pour a capful of Pine-Sol or another scented disinfectant into the drain - the whole room smells great. Bedroom: Use a comforter on the bed. It's manly, and only takes seconds to toss it over the mattress to "make" the bed.
Entryway: Always put keys, wallet and cellphone on the entryway table - you'll never have another fire drill to find them when you're running late.
Storage:
Scan and store irreplaceable photos on your hard drive at home, and back them up again on a flash drive or CD kept in another location.

Author has mad crush on
Martha Stewart
Martha Stewart, object of affection  | Clean Like a Man author Tom McNulty recently developed a serious case of "like" for the domestic goddess while reading Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook. "Such good advice," he said, "and she's stunning to boot."
So
far, Ms. Stewart doesn't know Tom exists. But if he ever has the
opportunity to date her, he's assured friends that he would be "a
perfect gentleman."
