Product Description
Review
You might not think a book about cleaning could be funny but this made me laugh out loud. In the office. During a quiet lunch hour. Not bad for a guide to housework written by a one-time clueless male for clueless males. Full of useful tips - for men as well as women. At last reading about housework can be fun. --Financial Times, November 2008
Review
Obviously my husband will be getting a pristine copy of How to Get Things Really Flat. The author takes his task seriously but he's also a funny and fluent writer and this one might just hang around long enough to become an essential reference book as our two young boys grow up.

I love you and can I have your duster?,
By vera (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Get Things Really Flat: A Man's Guide to Ironing, Dusting and Other Household Arts (Hardcover)
I have a small library of house cleaning books . It is a fascinating subject and by no means are you committed to doing it simply by reading about it , in fact the amount you do is probably in inverse proportion to the number of books you own on the subject.
This book was head and shoulders over all my other Christmas presents, I couldn't put it down. Thank God I didn't start reading it until after we had eaten our Christmas dinner or that turkey would still have been raw on Boxing Day. Thank you Andrew Martin, an entertaining and enlightening read with more info than all the rest put together. I think of the Hero Sock Mother every time I run my washing machine and the laundry detergent nexus is one which provides endless opportunity for reflection. Five stars do not do this literary tour de force anything like justice, I think I will probably bring it on holiday when I will have time to mull it over at leisure.

Funny book, great tips,
This review is from: How to Get Things Really Flat: A Man's Guide to Ironing, Dusting and Other Household Arts (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my husband for Christmas as one of those jokey-type presents and it is, indeed, pretty funny. The author has a light touch and a delightful writing style. And surprisingly, it also contains lots of really useful household tips! Recommended.

A good starting point for most men,

This review is from: How to Get Things Really Flat: A Man's Guide to Ironing, Dusting and Other Household Arts (Hardcover)
An informative book in that it explains some of the science of cleaning and points out that most women have a good, though not always well defined, understanding of why certain processes work. The only issue for me is that Andrew Martin fails to describe the one skill I desired to learn when buying the book. He doesn't explain how to fold a shirt flat which is ironic considering the title.
