Humour; Household hints

Everyone hates housework most of the time – there’s too much life to live without having to worry about the washing and cleaning as well. Yes, the occasional flirtation with a duster or iron can be good for the soul but, come on, who needs housework?

In this artful and wryly humorous book Barty Phillips shares her tried and trusted techniques for avoiding housework wherever you can, showing exactly what you really have to do as well as what you can get away with. From vanquishing stains to outwitting household grime; a little harmless tidying to helpful technology; beating unwanted beasties to ‘training’ your family, the advice within will make your life that much happier just by giving you more time to enjoy it.

So reject the rubber gloves and adopt these cunning and creative stratagems that will reduce your housework to a minimum.
