Where’s a man to turn when he needs advice on how to keep house? Martha and Heloise are all very well, but frankly, they see housekeeping from a slightly different perspective. Where women view cleanliness as next to godliness, men see a sparkling bathroom as a great way to get laid. In How To Keep House, Sam Martin takes the latter tack, treating housework not as a personal virtue, but rather as a matter of sheer practicality. Organized closets mean more room for more stuff. Cleaning out the fridge reduces the risk of food poisoning. Knowing how to repair a burst pipe beats finding a plumber at 3 a.m. Covering good things like cleaning, laundry, home organization, tools, and maintenance, the book is an indispensable companion for the 21st-century man who can network a bank of computers but who can’t iron a shirt to save his life.
