'How do you get chewing gum off a leather jacket?' 'I put a hot pot on the kitchen bench and it's left a scorch mark, can I remove it?' 'My cat sprayed on the new curtains. the smell is awful and there's a slight stain. What can I do?' 'Someone in the pub spilt beer all over my expensive leather shoes. How do I clean them?' 'My 3-year-old got hold of a black permanent pen and wrote all over the cream furniture. It's a disaster!' 'We're repainting the bathroom walls. How can we stop the mould coming back?' 'We keep getting pesky moths in the pantry. Can we get rid of them?' 'I put my glassware in the dishwasher but it seems to be getting white marks on it. What do I do?'
