The House That Cleans Itself

The Big Oops on Page 65

In the first printing of The House That Cleans Itself, an error was made during the publishing process on page 65. The error has been corrected in subsequent printings. To see if your copy of the book has this problem, turn to page 65.

If the first sentence of that chapter is this: "Before you begin to put all of your steps into action, it's important to grasp certain essential truths about yourself, the way your brain works, and the problems those cause with regard to cleaning." then you have a corrected copy and don't need to worry about it.

If the first sentence of that chapter is this: "Where will all of these items go?" then you have the uncorrected copy. Please replace the entire first paragraph with the following paragraph instead:

Before you begin to put all of your steps into action, it's important to grasp certain essential truths about yourself, the way your brain works, and the problems those cause with regard to cleaning. Only when you understand the reasons behind your actions can you figure out ways to compensate for and work around those actions. If you happen to be married to a person who is more naturally neat than you are, he or she needs to read this chapter as well. After you've both read it, discuss the characteristics described here that apply to you. Sometimes simply understanding the cause of a behavior can ease much hurt, smoothing the way toward cooperation, teamwork, and lasting change.

Consider the following statements about some common characteristics of the housekeeping impaired.

Harvest House Publishers regrets the error and will make the necessary corrections when the book is reprinted.

If you would like a free sticker with the corrected text on it, to place over the incorrect text in the book, simply email Mindy with your mailing address and put "Free sticker" in the subject line.
