A CLEAN HOME IS A LUXURY:
A housewife doesn’t have to live in a mansion or a million-dollar dream home to live in luxury; and if a mansion was filthy on the inside it would cease to be viewed as luxury living. A clean home is a simple necessity for good living, yet it is also a luxury, not just because it is clean but also because it is cleaned with love and care by the woman of the home. A clean home is a gift of luxury for everyone who lives in the home, including a housewife.
