Steve needs Wayne like a vacuum cleaner needs a handful of paper clips...

You see...Steve can clean!

When Steve's wife Ana was rushed into hospital to have her baby 3 months prematurely, complications kept her in hospital rather longer than was originally planned. This left her husband Steve at home to a certain degradation of the standards of cleanliness and order Ana had come to expect.
