Excerpts from my books
Excerpt from Stainless:
“As the name suggests, this book is all about stains and how to treat them. Every week thousands of people get in touch with me for help with domestic dilemmas. They make contact through talkback radio programs, the website and in person at public events.

It is easy for people to think that all the tips and tricks I have crammed into my cleaning kit came from some magical place, gift-wrapped and working just the way they should from a cleaning kit factory. But…
…a lot of experimentation, accidents, research and total stuff-ups went into making my cleaning kit what it is today. So you see, I’ve already made all of the mistakes, learnt from them, researched the best deals on each ingredient and saved you the hassle. After all, the best mistakes to learn from are someone else’s mistakes. So, take advantage of me!
I have also used all the hints that have been passed down from previous generations of my family, testing each in turn so I could be sure which ones worked and which were just old wives’ tales.

That’s what makes this book so different from any of the others. I’m not just passing on a list of recipes for stain removal. I’m giving you the tools to diagnose your own stains and make your own solutions safely!”
