Cleaning a home in Clarksville

Clarksville sits on the Cumberland River in the northwest corner of Middle Tennessee, right up against the Kentucky line. Most houses here come with more than the house: an attached garage that everybody uses as the real front door, a covered porch on the street side, a deck or a concrete patio out back, and often a metal storage building in the yard. Where the lot slopes, the basement opens straight out to the grass.

Coming in through the garage means the dirt lands there first, so the mat, the step up into the kitchen and the laundry corner beside it get gone over every visit. Porch boards and deck rails collect a gray film that a broom will not take off. A walk-out basement adds a whole floor and usually another bathroom to the same job.
