Its really the satisfaction, you know
Your bosss wife just spilled her glass of Cabernet on your $200 tablecloth.
You dont think of the money. You just enjoy the look on her faceas you remove the stain in five seconds with a little ordinary borax and warm water! Youll probably save a hundred times what you paid for this book. A 99 bottle of vinegar could replace the $20 youd spend on a copper and brass cleaner, a chrome cleaner, a glass cleaner and a toilet cleaner. The savings dont take too long to add up. What fascinates us though, is the magic of it all. The look on your friends faces as your entire silverware collection turns gleaming in ten seconds, with water softener, foil and salt! Youre a heroa household hero.
But youre not the only one These 250 pages introduce you to the Household Heroes in your home. Ordinary items, with more than a thousand cleaning and space-saving properties, ready to rescue you in your time of need! Haleys Cleaning Hints is our second book. Our first, Haleys Hints, covered topics as diverse as cooking, plumbing, pest control, even car care. However, we noticed, 400,000 copies later, that our cleaning hints were the ones most in demand. So we know Haleys Cleaning Hints will become an invaluable reference source for you. But youll also have the satisfaction of having more friends now than ever.
Once they know you own this book, theyll be calling you for advice constantly! Be kind. Share the wisdom. Its really satisfying! Graham and Rosemary
