Book Description: At last, a field guide to identifying and doing battle with more than 100 stains, from tomato juice and tar to avocado and urine!

A full-color insert features 100 photographs for easy identification, and each photograph is cross-referenced to the stain's in-depth description and step-by-step removal advice.

Customer Reviews
STAIN BUSTER!, October 14, 2002
Reviewer: A reader from New York City
I have not been this pleased with a book purchase in a long time! I read a piece in The New York Times that sparked my interest and purchased Field Guide to Stains. And let me say, that the stain removal techinques I've tried really work! What's more it's an interesting read and the close-up photos of the stains are not only hilarious, but very useful for identification. This book will get a lot of use around my house.
