Mary Floppins has landed in the Circulating Library, bringing all the cleanliness (but much less of the class and child-friendliness) of the well-known nanny with the similar name. Dirty Work teaches the basics of home maintenance and laundry with saucy, sassy flair as the little boys’ workshop for cleanliness opens its doors for new students and anyone who wants a refresher.

A library is the perfect setting for the disarray of an unclean home, and you’ll spot many a piece of dirty laundry contrasted against the neat rows of historical text. But unlike Poppins, who’d just get on with washing these discarded garments, Floppins knows that a good sniff is the true way of knowing what to do with that shirt on the floor. Floppins is ready to let it all hang out and enjoy those little mellow moments just for herself. From dramatic folding techniques to the healing powers of Lynx Africa, there’s a lot to learn for all men but mostly those who just throw the fitted bedsheet into the cupboard without attempting to make it neat: it sure is a mood killer to be amongst all that mess.
