                           FOR ALLAN G. KEIRSTEAD
  
  
 The Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors of
 Stanhome Inc. (the "Company") recently approved and ratified relocation
 benefits (the "Relocation Benefits") for Allan G. Keirstead to continue as
 the Company's Vice Chairman, Executive Vice President and Chief
 Administrative and Financial Officer, which Relocation Benefits were
 offered to him in the form of a letter agreement summarizing certain
 continuing compensation matters and employee benefits, as well as providing
 for the Relocation Benefits, certain of which are subject to adjustment in
 the event of a voluntary termination of employment by Mr. Keirstead.  The
 Relocation Benefits principally consist of certain supplemental benefits to
 be received by Mr. Keirstead in the event he relocates his place of
 business to Illinois at the request of the Company, including the following
 benefits to which he may be entitled in connection with his termination of
 employment with the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, during a
 period of two years following the date of his relocation: monthly severance
 payments (including without limitation a "retention benefit") as provided
 for in the Company's existing Severance Policy and a letter dated June 16,
 1997 to him; pension benefits in accordance with Mr. Keirstead's Retirement
 Contract, as amended, starting at age 55, subject to Board approval in the
 event of a voluntary termination prior to age 55; continuation of medical and
 life insurance benefits for up to 36 months; and continued vesting of stock
 options for a three-year period.  Mr. Keirstead is also eligible to receive
 relocation and related reimbursements.
