AddALL.com - How to Get Things Really Flat: Enlightenment for Every Man on Ironing, Vacuuming and Other Household Arts 1615190023 9781615190027

Andrew Martin is surprisingly qualified to write a guide to housework for men — not only is he a man himself, but he also does a lot around the house. On purely humanitarian grounds, he recently took over some of the ironing from his wife; he then branched out into cleaning the bathroom, fairly regular vacuuming, and doing the dishes after dinner (when he wasn't eating out). For the purposes of How to Get Things Really Flat, Martin interviewed many experts and can thus provide answers to such burning questions as: do I need to bother about the controls on the iron? Is dust actually dangerous? What’s all this stuff about hard and soft water? The result is a genuinely enlightening read, combining practical housework advice with touching recollections from the author’s childhood and hilarious scenes from the daily sitcom of family life.
