Book Overview

In this witty and candid memoir, T.K. Robinson invites readers behind the scenes of more than a decade in domestic cleaning. From bizarre accusations and difficult clients to unreliable staff, awkward encounters and unexpected acts of kindness, no two days are ever the same. She shares the pressures of running a small business, the chaos of the pandemic, and the resilience, humour and survival that kept her going. Observational, honest and laugh-out-loud funny, Tales from Under the Kitchen Sink is a celebration of the stories we all carry — and the surprising humanity found in the places we least expect.

From the Kitchen Sink

I’ve been there, done it, and used the T-shirt as a rag to clean it.

There, sitting innocently next to the toothbrushes, was a butt plug

What use would a bit of old frayed suitcase strap be to her?

I always felt like I was Anneka Rice on an episode of Treasure Hunt!

Behind every closed door, there's a story...
