Tara Aronson on TV

Tara Aronson has spent nearly three decades helping people get their homes under control without giving up their weekends to do it.

She's the former “Coming Clean” columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, the author of five books on cleaning, organizing and decluttering, and a regular guest on local and national morning shows, where she shares the kind of tips viewers can actually use by dinnertime.

Her approach: practical, funny and decidedly unsentimental. A home should make life easier, not become another full-time job. Not perfection. No marathon purging sessions. No requirement to become a minimalist. Just smarter ways to take control of your home, get your time back and make room for what matters.
