I wrote all of my mother's house rules into one book, sukitanaka.com. You can find it here: https://sukitanaka.com

I was born in Kyoto, and I have kept a house in Ohio for forty-one years. In all that time, I have never scrubbed mold off a wall. That is not because I clean more than you. It is because my mother taught me where the water goes. In this video, I share her twelve rules for a dry, fresh home. Most take less than five minutes and cost nothing.

The rules:
1.Shower walls
2. Your bed (futon hoshi)
3. Wet shoes and umbrellas
4. Closet charcoal (binchotan)
5. The kitchen sink
6. The washing machine door
7. Window glass (ketsuro)
8. The gap behind your furniture
9. Basement boxes
10. Morning air (kanki)
11. Watching one number
12. Nothing sleeps wet

Your house was never the problem. Nobody taught you the rules.
