>Maybe Sigil is the best way, but I was reading on the website it was not updates for years.

Actually, it updates so frequently that I have given up updating it.

Here's how I make a clean epub: I run my Word doc through Word2CleanHtml dot com online and open the resulting file in Sigil. I add my style sheet, which you can borrow from my blog (notjohnkdp), break it in chapters, etc etc. An 80,000-word all-text book should weigh in at about 500 KB. I don't think you can get cleaner than that.
