Culture takes place every day: in every household, with every bite, with every piece of clothing; it is negotiated through the products we choose and how we use them. The book sets out to highlight cleaning as a cultural technique through which culture is lived and nature is vanquished, through which hierarchies are created, social rankings manifested, and traditions implemented. Addressing dirt and cleanliness, cleaning agents, equipment, and machines, (clean) surfaces and polluted environments, it interrogates the unwritten cultural rules around cleanliness and order, asking what they reveal about our beliefs and value systems. In 2020, the original German-language edition of this book was published under the title \"Putzen. Eine Kulturtechnik\". It triggered tremendous media coverage in German-speaking countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSonja Stummerer\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMartin Hablesreiter\u003c\/strong\u003e both studied architecture and design in Vienna, London, and Barcelona.
