December 2009 Good Housekeeping selection.

 

As a child Andrew Martin learnt the joy of Harpic-clean toilets and hanging the dishcloth over the taps from the family’s aptly-named home-help Mrs Buffard (Andrew’s mother had died when he was little). Now he is gamely proselytizing other men into the white art of looking after the house and ironing (as a bartering tool and guilt-reliever). Run through with expert guidance (from a woman who has washed 120,000 socks and counting) to hygiene specialists and laundry mistresses, the book has a genuine thread of useful and useable tips for the man who about the house. Wit and cleaning don’t often go hand in Marigold hand but here they do.
