Dear Mrs Perfect I was shocked when I received your letter. I am a great beliver in the 'Open the window and throw them out ' method I found it a great success with regards clothes being left on the floor. As for the dirty bath . Here is a great little tip ( available also in my Hayley Handy Tips booklet ..price £14.99 from any good stocklist) Mixed 3 teaspoon full of vim and a quarter of pint of vinegar and mixed in to a paste take one bath clothe and use a finger tip of the paste and begin to rub round the tide mark in the bath ( you may use more if paste runs out ) . when you have scrubb till your fingers bleed rinse the bath with hot and then cold water and dry and shine with lazy sons best shirt. Killing both birds with one stone. Good luck Mrs Handy x |

Dear Mrs Handy, I have a problem with my bathroom, clothes aged 15 keep accumilating behind the door and once on Sunday the bath itself becomes very black, I think my 11 year old might have something to do with this! Please can you give me hints on how to clean these problem areas Your with affection Mrs Perfect!!!! (lol) |

soft as if you refuse to wash another pot or plate and stick to it hubby would either have to have his tea on a dirty plate or wash up himself either way he will then buy you the dishwasher you want it worked for me |

I wish to apologise for the use of any bad language that may come out but......I have had to call him (1) a lazy toad, (2) a cheap skate as he will not buy me a dishwasher, (3) threatened to remove all other domestic services from the premises, (4) I have even gone to the extraordinary expense of purchasing a pair of daffodil coloured Marigolds, (5) Asked 'nicely' (6) Paid (60p, to have a notice placed in the local paper shop window informing all and sundry that he was a lazy ..............(7) Bought 7 tubes of Avon sensitive hand cream, odourless variety as it could clash with his after shave, (8) I have even given him a step by step, or should it be dish by dish, demonstration, but all to no avail. I am at the end of my teather and would appreciate your advise. Kathlyn |

Instructions required on 'How to teach a male, usually husband but can be son if you are lucky, to wash up'. We are very quickly running out of crockery and will have to resort to baked bean cans and the dogs dish by the weekend. Kathlyn |

Dear Mrs fields Thank you for bringing up vinegar . Please see Handys vinegar for all needs..retails at just £4.99 for a lt bottle. Now if you half of the bottle to 1 bucket of water and rub as hards as your nibble fingers allows you find that it removes the polish very well therefore 'STOPPING' any dust being attracted to ones surfaces.

I am amazed you haven't mentioned vinegar once...Sadly I must away but please leave as many tips on her as possible. And also is it a fact that dust does not rise any higher after three years? Thank you. You are a Treasure....XX BC |
