My Peel Advertsing

I spilt a large glass of red wine on my friend’s new carpet recently. Well, not really my pal. Not now. Not after I told them my home maintenance tip for getting stains out.

Evidently if you pour candle wax on a red wine stain and then try to iron it out not only will it singe the carpet, burn the wooden floors sitting underneath, set off the smoke detector and set fire to the kitten, it may also strain friendships just that bit past breaking point.

I even offered to call and pay for a handy man or home repair services, but I was not able to call one before the fire engine came and I was charged with antagonistic property damage and arson.

The difficulty with attempting home repairs yourself is that there’s almost every possibility of making the issue much much worse. It is best to find some home improvement consultants who specialize in house repairs or garden maintenance, (depending on your particular situation).

But if you are looking to replace those lost tiles or upgrade the leaky bathroom, it can be hard to locate someone specialized in home renovations or house repairs. Your average tradesman is more used to the demolition derby approach, which does not actually work that well if you have a cramped living room covered with the collection of valuable antique babushka dolls that you were gifted from Aunt Mavis.

Nothing claims, whoops I actually should not have employed this guy, more clearly than the gloomy, doleful sound of a dozen exploding babushka dolls. Oh, Aunt Mavis. How we miss you.

Professional and qualified home-improvement services that come with the top of the line in home repair supplies are harder to find than a wine stain removing trick that really works, (and doesn’t ignite the neighborhood). Calling up professionals out of the phone book leads to Tim the Tool Man Taylor arriving 3 days late and taking a power drill to a load-bearing wall.

Next time you are short of some home repairs make sure you take a dLook first to find licensed specialists in your neighborhood and don’t rely on traditional remedies for getting the wine out of the carpet.
