Keep Your Home Ready For Visits The Easy Way
Eveyone is busy these days, you may find the pace of life spinning out of control. Here are some smart, timesaving tips for keeping your home clean and ready for visitors the easy way:
• Use dampened fabric softener sheets (after you've used them in your dryer) to dust miniblinds, TV screens and other dust magnets. The sheets will minimize static and slow the return of dust.
• Use a clean, soft 4" paintbrush to brush-dust lampshades, windowsills, chair rails and louvered doors.
• Speed-dust furniture with an old sock on each hand,dampened with furniture polish or a dusting product.
• Use a squirt of shampoo on a damp cloth to quickly spot-clean the bathroom after a shower.
• Remove black scuff marks from vinyl flooring by rubbing baking soda gently onto them with a soft, damp cloth. Vegetable oil works well too, but be sure to prevent slipping by washing the spot with mild detergent after treatment.
• Keep silverware tarnish-free and ready to use by storing a strip of aluminum foil in your silver chest or drawer.
• Touch-up small spots on painted walls and woodworkusing cotton swabs as throwaway brushes. If you keep your touch-up paint in a small jar with a screw-on lid, mixing it for use just takes several quick shakes.
• Remove mildew stains and odors using a one-to-one solution of white vinegar and water.
• Recycle old toothbrushes for use scrubbing around faucets and fixtures and getting into grout seams.
• Get rid of candle wax drips by scraping as much as you can off the surface, without damaging it. Hard-surfaced portable items, such as candlesticks, can be run under very hot tap water to remove remaining wax. For fabric or carpeting, place a clean, soft cloth over the drip and use a warm iron to melt the wax into the cloth. Dry cleaning fluid can remove any wax that remains.
