Every visitor will leave the museum with a new excitement and incentive to be clean in their personal lives.

We carefully considered a larger adjacent city, such as Denver, Seattle, or Salt Lake City, but decided the scope of the museum was strong enough to make it a destination place. We had already started our national Varsity business here, I graduated from Idaho State University, my home and family started here, and most of the talent we need is here. Also, Pocatello is a corridor for outdoor recreation and gateway to some of the most popular national parks, cleanest air, and purest water anywhere. So where else could be better than in Pocatello?

Don has authored 40 books and completed more than 6000 seminars, workshops, and T.V. filmings nationally and internationally. All of these relate to organization and the dimension of clean. Adapting a creative and humorous slant to the message of clean, he has leveraged his cause into service toward community, church, business and environmental progress.

Don's Story

My mother told us the reason she married my dad was because he was always so clean. Our home, our clothes, our food, and our yard were always fresh. There seemed to be some charm in taking care of things that made life better. I loved cleaning! As an eighteen year-old college student, and on my own, I put an ad in the Idaho State Journal newspaper; “Don Aslett Pro-Cleaner!” Calls came in, and my lifetime profession, Varsity Contractors and Don Aslett’s Cleaning Centers were launched.

I kept a record of my adventures in cleaning, and soon wrote books and gave talks about it too. On my way to a Boy Scout Jamboree in 1984, I stopped at Edison Museum in the Detroit area. I spotted a pre-electric sweeper from the 1800’s. My whole being said, why not? There are car museums, horse museums, train museums and plane museums—why couldn’t there be a museum of clean? What’s more important to mankind than the outcome of clean?

A few colleagues and vendors caught the cleaning vision and soon hundreds of antique cleaners, tools, artifacts and art pieces were acquired. After purchasing 250 premium pre-electric vacuums in 2006, it became apparent that more space was needed to expand the museum and its message. A solid brick building dating from 1916 was purchased and renovated between 2006 and 2011 to the highest energy efficiency standards.

The purpose of the museum is to sell the value of clean to the world! It is growing in size and popularity as visitors and contributors become part of the vision. It is my privilege to share a lifetime of experience and a clean message. —Don Aslett, Founder
