Cleaning:

Did
you
know
that
the
best
time
to
wash
your
windows
is
when
you
have
a cloudy
day?
You
may
notice
more
streaks
on
your
windows
if
you
clean
them
on
a bright
sunny
day,
just
because
the
sun
will
dry
your
windows
before
you
can.

If
you
have
a stack
of
newspapers
lying
around,
now
is
the
time
to
use
them!
They
are
just
as
effective
as
paper
towels—just
make
sure
to
wear
gloves
so
the
ink
won't
bleed
on
your
hands.
|

Vacuum
the
windowsills
and
screens
before
you
clean
them—it
will
help
eliminate
a lot
of
the
dirt,
and
make
the
overall
job
less
messy.

Laundry
Tips:
|
| • |
Is
ring
around
the
collar
a problem?
Try
rubbing
some
shampoo
into
the
stain,
which
will
lift
the
oil
and
sweat
stains.

Many
of
our
customers
tell
us
that
adding
a scoop
of
Spic
And
Span
powder
to
their
laundry
does
wonders
for
the
whole
wash!
|

Ink
stains
come
off
clothing
easily,
using
either
hair
spray
or
rubbing
alcohol.
Just
make
sure
to
test
an
inconspicuous
area
first,
so
you
won't
damage
delicate
clothing.
|

Oil
stains
come
off
easily
with
baby
powder.
Just
place
the
article
of
clothing
on
a flat
surface,
and
sprinkle
a good
amount
of
powder
onto
the
stain.
Dab
the
powder
a bit,
so
it
will
sink
into
the
fabric,
and
leave
it
overnight.
By
the
next
morning,
you
can
shake
off
the
baby
powder,
and
the
stain
will
be
gone!

General
Time-Saving
Tips:
|
| • |
Cleaning
is
always
faster
and
easier
if
you
start
at
the
top
and
work
your
way
down.
Gravity
will
always
push
dirt
and
grime
down,
so
you
are
better
off
dusting
first,
and
then
vacuuming
the
floor
last,
which
is
where
all
the
dirt
will
have
settled.
|
| • |
Keep
a portable
vacuum
handy
when
you
clean.
This
way,
you
can
remove
dust,
crumbs
and
all
other
particles
before
you
clean,
which
will
make
the
overall
task
easier
on
you!
|
| • |
Make
your
own
cleaning
"toolkit".
An
ideal
way
to
do
this
is
to
fill
a basket
with
paper
towels,
Cinch,
Spic
And
Span,
and
any
other
items
that
you
will
be
using
in
each
room.
This
is
a real
time
saver,
since
you
can
eliminate
trips
between
rooms
to
get
the
supplies
you
need!
|

Baking
soda
is
a great
way
to
keep
everything
smelling
fresh.
Keep
some
in
the
refrigerator,
sprinkle
some
on
the
carpet
before
you
vacuum,
hide
some
behind
the
toilet
bowl
in
the
bathroom—you'll
be
amazed
how
much
cleaner
your
home
will
smell!
|
| • |
Keep
a large
welcome
mat
outside
your
front
door
at
all
times—it
will
really
help
cut
down
on
the
amount
of
dirt
that
gets
tracked
into
the
home.
Even
better—get
into
the
habit
of
taking
your
shoes
off
at
the
front
door.
Walking
around
your
home
in
clean
slippers
or
stockings
will
do
wonders
on
cleaning
day,
when
there
will
be
much
less
dirt,
grime,
and
scuff
marks
to
worry
about.
|
| • |
Keep
a small
stash
of
trash
bags
at
the
bottom
of
each
trashcan.
When
you
are
ready
to
throw
out
the
garbage,
your
replacement
bag
is
easily
within
reach.
|
| • |
Make
a list
of
chores
that
need
to
be
done
before
you
start
cleaning.
If
you
have
help,
make
sure
that
each
person
has
a list
of
things
to
do.
Checking
off
the
tasks
as
you
complete
them
is
very
motivating,
and
you'll
feel
very
efficient
once
you
are
done!

| • | Spic
&
Span
liquid
works
wonderfully
on
many
different
surfaces,
but
did
you
ever
think
of
using
it
on
your
paintbrushes?
Pouring
some
Spic
&
Span
liquid
directly
on
the
bristles
as
a final
step
in
the
cleaning
process
does
wonders
in
eliminating
all
that
excess
paint
from
the
brush,
and
will
help
lengthen
the
life
of
your
paintbrushes!
