Invented the Self-Cleaning House

most well known for devising household gadgets for convenience but more specifically for designing and building the first "self-cleaning house;" The house incorporated 68 of her separate inventions from a self-cleaning dishwasher, a self-cleaning fireplace, and even giving her dog a bath by routing the receding water used to clean the house through the dog house. Each room contained a cleaning apparatus that was roughly 10 square inches in the center of the room. The self-cleaning system works by opening a valve and then pushing a button. This activates a sprinkler system that dispenses soap and water across the room. This automated car wash-like system cleans ceilings, walls, floors, windows, curtains, and furniture. Gabe obtained 36 patents for various pieces of cleaning inventions she invented; 1 of her inventions was for a material used to cover upholstery which is strong enough to hold molten steel but soft enough to sleep on comfortably; to cope with laundry she designed a tightly sealed cabinet where soiled clothing was placed inside on hangers, washed and dried there with jets of water and air, and then, still on hangers, pulled neatly by a chain into the clothes closet;
