Visiting The Museum of Clean - Pocatello, ID

The Museum of Clean is an exceptional Harvest Host stop located in Pocatello, Idaho. The museum boasts 75,000 square feet of exhibits with displays ranging from history to art to humor. Don Aslet, a world renowned cleaning professional and author, conceived the idea for the museum in 1985, rescuing a six story building that encompasses an entire city block. Don, who still goes to work everyday at 88 years of age, states this is a “Be Clean” museum, not a how to clean museum, teaching the value of clean.

Clean air, water, teeth, mind, and so forth can all be found in the Museum of Clean. Interactive, hands-on exhibits are throughout the museum, and Don’s humor abounds around every corner. We had the opportunity to meet Don and he generously shared his time with us, giving us an insider peek at the stories and history of the museum. With over 10,000 pieces on exhibit, you’ll find plenty of nostalgia, learn a lot, and without a doubt leave with a smile on your face and the motivation to live a clean life and leave this world a better place.

Staying as Harvest Host campers at the Museum of Clean is quiet, peaceful, and welcoming. You’ll park in the level concrete parking lot and discover the grounds are exceptionally maintained. There are plenty of nearby options for restaurants and shops to explore in this lovely mountain college town. This stop is definitely one that you’ll want to add to your travel map for a truly unique and fun experience.
