About The Clean Machine
The Clean Machine is an independent publication with practical, plain-English guides to looking after a home — and the car in its driveway — without spending more than you need to. We cover kitchens and bathrooms, laundry and stains, floors and carpets, mold and indoor air, car washing and detailing, household pests, organizing and decluttering, home maintenance and outdoor spaces, choosing and maintaining home appliances, simple homemade cleaners, plus household news readers can act on, such as product recalls and chemical safety rules. Safety comes first: never mix bleach with ammonia, vinegar or other acids, or mix different cleaning products; always follow the label, ventilate the room and keep products away from children and pets. If someone swallows or inhales a cleaning product, call Poison Control (1-800-222-1222 in the US) or emergency services right away. Articles are prepared by the The Clean Machine editors with the help of AI tools and checked against official sources such as the EPA, CDC, CPSC and manufacturers’ care instructions. The Clean Machine is run by a new team and is not connected to the website that previously used this domain.
How we work
Every article is based on official guidance, published research and reporting by established outlets. News stories list their sources; guides link to the official pages they rely on. We do not claim hands-on testing we have not done, and we do not invent experts, quotes or reviews. Articles are prepared by the The Clean Machine editors with the help of automation and AI tools and pass quality checks before publication: figures must match the sources, wording must be original, and off-topic or low-value stories are rejected. Details are in our editorial policy.
Who runs The Clean Machine
The Clean Machine is owned and operated by a small independent publisher based in the Czech Republic and written for readers in the United States and other English-speaking countries. We are not affiliated with any brand or organization. How the site is funded: ownership and funding.
