This book can be a lifesaver. I am the ultimate clutz. I have a condition called Dispraxia, making me drop, bump, kick, and trip anything and everything. The resulting messes can be embarrassing and leave lasting rememberances of the incident. This book gives many options to try and clean these accidents. Most actually work!!!

For example: spilled ink: has sections for fabric, upholstery, and carpet. Crayon melted on to the dryer drum using WD40 followed by soapy water and a dry cloth, but also sections on crayon on fabric, upholstery, carpet.

There are sections for the top ten kid stains, valentine stains, picnic, and Christmas stains. there is even a small section on preventatives.
