With a little help from a stranger

We're spring cleaning, also with a view to putting our house on the market. Now, usually we buy eco-friendly products, but after six years our white kitchen cupboards were in need of something stronger. So my husband set off for the supermarket to see what he could find.
In the cleaning products aisle he came upon a woman. She had opened a washing product and was holding the plastic bottle under her nose.
"Whatever you do, don't drink that!" My husband joked.
So she explained she was simply checking the scent.
He wandered a bit further and stood staring at the confusion of bottles. She came back.
"Can I help you? You look lost?"
"You're right about that."
Well, she advised on the right kind of sponge to use, one that wouldn't scratch. Then she plucked a product off the shelves.
"This is what you need," she said, and opened it and thrust the bottle under my husband's nose.
He recoiled and exhorted, "Whatever you do, don't squeeze!"
They had a good chuckle.
Anyhow, her recommendations worked a charm. Thanks lady!
