Ever wondered how to remove turmeric from a silk tie? Or what to look for when buying a bread machine?

It lets you run a hitch-free house and shows how you can buy with confidence, complain with authority (it includes templates for effective letters of complaint), maintain appliances and keep yourself and your family safe and secure.
