The stainbuster's bible - Don Aslett

The most advanced, user-friendly book ever written on the subject, The Stainbuster's Bible is a complete guide to removing even the most stubborn stains from all kinds of surfaces. Based on years of first-hand experience, Don Aslett describes and analyses every type of stain, then outlines the best plan of attack.

* what not to do - the mistakes that turn tiny spots into big stains
* ingenious home remedies - myth, magic or mess
* recognising the surface and choosing the right treatment
* the tools and chemicals, terms and techniques of stainbusting
* when to turn to the professionals for help
* when to give up - stain hiding and salvaging strategies
* preventing stains in the first place
