The Ex Files
Women, whether former or current wives, always have housekeeping horror stories about their guys. For example, Lisa writes:
"My ex tried to clean an expensive piece of my coral jewelry by soaking it in rubbing alcohol, turning it from a beautiful deep pink to bone white. He also tried to clean a wooden tabletop with alcohol and ruined the finish."
Arr...no wonder you're an "ex," Lisa! If other women (or guys) have an Ex Files story - and we know you do - send it to tom@cleanlikeaman.com.

Women are very particular about their clothes. You may think you're doing her a favor by washing something of hers, but you only risk shrinking one of her prized garments, making a color fade - hell, dozens of things could go wrong here. Not even your good intentions will overcome
gaffes of this magnitude. And if the divorce judge is female, your wife will be awarded everything and you'll wind up living in a van down by the river.
