Cleaning for Guests
"If you can clean only one room before company arrives, tackle the bathroom. This is the only room where people spend time solo and may have the time and tendency to notice a mess."
Removing Food Odors
"When my plastic storage containers start to smell like the food that was in them, I wash them with hot water and two tablespoons of baking soda."
Speeding Through Chores
"I follow two good tips: Time will fly if you listen to great music, and enlist your family's help."
Dusting Lamp Shades
"My vacuum attachment doesn't work on cloth lamp shades, so I dust the shades with a lint roller."
Repurposing Old Clothes
"I wear an old, unmatched sock on my hand when I have to dust the house. I run my hand along chair rails, crown moldings, and doors until the sock is dusty enough to discard or wash and reuse."
