MY BOYFRIEND BARFED IN MY HANDBAG. AND OTHER THINGS YOU CAN'T ASK MARTHA

From the hit columnist behind “Ask a Clean Person” comes a hilarious and practical guide to cleaning all of life’s little household emergencies.

With signature sass and real talk, Kerr tackles the most common (and uncommon) spills, odors, and--let's face it--those oh-so embarrassing stains you just can't ask your parents about. Taking on questions ranging from the basic--how do I use mop?--to the esoteric--Ahh! Exploding bottles of homebrew ginger beer in the kitchen!--Jolie proves that even the most nightmarish cleaning conundrums can be solved with a smile, the right supplies, and a little bit of music.
MY BOYFRIEND BARFED IN MY HANDBAG showcases Jolie's infinite cleaning knowledge and terrific sense of humor, including remedies for heirloom wedding dress restoration, confetti stains on wood floors, and endless laundry, as well as general tips for leading a tidier and happier existence. Whether you're moving into a college dorm, purchasing your first home, or finally getting around to cleaning your old one, no stain, spill, or surprise windowsill mushrom growth is too odd or embarrassing for Jolie. And let's be honest: no one is going to ask Martha Stewart what to do when your boyfriend barfs in your handbag.
