The format

Every page looks like this.

One screen. Forty words. What to do now, what makes it permanent, and what it costs if you'd rather just call someone.

HOME

Red wine on the couch

Do this now

  1. 1Blot straight down with a white cloth. Don't rub.
  2. 2Cover it in salt or baking soda. Let it pull.
  3. 3Cold water with a drop of dish soap. Blot from the outside in.

Never

Hot water. It sets the stain permanently.

Already dried? → p.41

Rather hire it out? Upholstery cleaner, ~$150–300

CAR

The check engine light came on

Do this now

  1. 1Look at whether it's steady or flashing.
  2. 2Steady, driving normally — get it scanned this week.
  3. 3Flashing — pull over safely and shut it off.

Never

Keep driving on a flashing light. That's a $1,200 catalytic converter.

Not sure? → p.12

Rather hire it out? Diagnostic scan, ~$90–150

HOME

Grease that went through the dryer

Do this now

  1. 1Skip the water. Blot off anything still sitting on top.
  2. 2Cover the mark in cornstarch for 15 minutes, then brush it off.
  3. 3Work dish soap in, then wash as hot as the care label allows.

Never

Back in the dryer. Heat is what set it in the first place.

Already washed twice? → p.38

Rather hire it out? Dry cleaner, ~$8–20 a garment

WALLET

You tapped the link in the text

Do this now

  1. 1Don't enter anything else. Close the page.
  2. 2Change that password from a different device.
  3. 3Call the number on the back of your card — not one from the text.

Never

Call a number the message gave you. That's the actual scam.

Already gave them a code? → p.9

Rather hire it out? Your bank's fraud line is free

Why not just search

You could look it up. You won't.

01

Nine ad units deep

By the time you scroll past the recipe blogger's childhood, it's dry.

02

Four answers, all different

Half of them are written by someone selling you a bottle of something.

03

One hand free

You're holding a towel. This opens to the answer in about ten seconds.

The difference

What this isn't.

Not this

  • A cleaning guide you read on a Sunday
  • Life hacks
  • A maintenance schedule
  • Something you have to set up

This

  • Something you open while it's still wet
  • Forty words, no scrolling
  • Print it, or keep it on your phone
  • What it costs if you'd rather just call someone

Answers

Questions.

Yes, on purpose. It opens with no signal, it prints, and it never expires. One screen per emergency, indexed so you land on the answer instead of scrolling for it.

It's built for it. Print the whole thing, print one chart for the laundry room, or keep it on your phone. Everything reads fine in black and white.

Most of it exists somewhere. So does every recipe. You're paying for it to be sorted, checked against multiple sources, and findable in ten seconds.

Always test on a hidden spot first. Where sources genuinely disagree, the entry says so and tells you to stop rather than guess.

Four PDF volumes, the print-and-hang chart set, and a one-page emergency sheet for the fridge. Delivered the second you buy.

These are digital files, so all sales are final once your download is delivered. That's why there's a full entry on this page to read before you buy — you can see the exact format and decide from there. If a file won't open or isn't what was described, email us and we'll fix it.

Last thing

Ninety seconds from now, it's either a stain or a story.

Know what to do before it's the first one.
