Redwine on the Carpet Secret Tips from Country Life's Housekeeper by Mrs Danvers

One of the most popular features with readers of Country Life is the Mrs Danvers column.

Readers write to ask her about problems on everything from what to do with leftover beef to repairing glass. With its practical and often unusual questions and answers, the column provides readers with entertaining and always useful information.

Now, all of this information has been gathered into a book which will prove an essential reference work for all homeowners. Topics discussed include: How do you prevent salt from becoming damp?; How do you get rid of spiders from an attic? ( put conkers in the room as spiders hate anything to do with chestnuts ); How do you re-surface a bath?; What can you do with left-over gazpacho? ( make it into a sauce ); How do you look after terracotta floors?; Which plants go well with a black-painted barn?; What is the best gin cocktail?; How can you make inexpensive but good quality linen table napkins?

And of course, just how do you remove red wine from a carpet?

Fun to read and practical to use, Red Wine on the Carpet provides the answers to all those questions you've always wanted to ask.
