The cleaning and maintenance layer of household life.
Unit 4 taught you to manage your food supply. This unit teaches you to manage everything else that keeps a home functioning: the surfaces, the clothing, the moisture, the waste, and the conditions that attract larger problems when they go unmanaged. The governing principle is judgment, not intensity. Most routine cleaning is just cleaning, and reaching for stronger chemicals is rarely the right first move.
Building a cleaning routine, understanding when to clean versus disinfect, reading product labels, handling chemicals safely, doing laundry correctly, removing common stains, controlling moisture and mold, managing household waste, preventing pests through sanitation, and maintaining cleanliness during water disruptions.
Sewing, mending, and garment repair (Unit 6), plumbing repair and dryer duct replacement (maintenance units), post-disaster flood cleanup and emergency toilets (preparedness units), professional mold remediation, lead, asbestos, or hospital-level infection control.
Eight modules, three tiers.
Work through them in order. Each tier ends with something you can point to and say the household can now do this.
