WIFE-SAVERS
Here are a few housekeeping
tips that will not only save your
time and temper, but your fam
ily’s as well. While they’re not
guaranteed to make household
chores sheer pleasure, they will
help speed up your routiije work
in these busy days.
Next time you dust, try using
twin dust-cloths, one in each hand.
Suds them both after each using,
of course.
One of the most efficient and
quickest ways of dusting bric-a-
brac, figurines, etc., is with a
clean paintbrush. This is also a
good method for dusting book-tops
and window-sills.
When making beds, do you have
trouble centering the spread and
bed-clothes? Sew tiny French
knots (to match the color scheme,
of course) at points even with the
bed posts on each piece. You’ll
find this will save you many steps
to the other side of the bed to see
how far down each piece hangs.
Hang wrinkled garments in the
bathroom and run scalding hot
water into the tub so that the
steam will smooth the wrinkles as
a substitute for pressing. Inciden
tally, this saves clothes, also, as
too many pressings shorten the
lives of most articles. This “steam
bath” is an excellent travel trick,
too.
Does your family insist on track-
ing-up your clean floors on a
rainy day? Try nailing a scrub
bing brush, upside down, outside
the door so anyone can wipe their
shoes thoroughly on it^before com
ing inside.
And did you know, by the way,
that your cleaning cloths and dust
ers will last much longer if they
are hemmed to prevent ravelling?
