CLEANING DAY
THE RIGHT WAY TO WORK. If a room is thoroughly cleaned once a week the operation should not be a strenuous one, provided the operator is methodical. But let her utensils, her cleaning materials, her sweepings, and her furniture get in a muddle and her temper will soon be disordered. Try going a,bout the cleaning of your sitting-room in this wise and see how happily you come out of the fray: Collect all necessary brooms, dusters, and polishek. Open windows wide, pin back curtains, and take away vases to be washed. But cleaner on windows and mirrors. Sweep walls and ceiling with a Turk’s head broom. Move all furniture off the carpet, sprinkle dry tea-leaves on the carpet, and sweep the way of the pile, never across it. using a hard broom. Now move all furniture onto the carpet and sweep the surrounding part and polish it with floor cream. Clean off glass and polish any brasses and silver. Dust all pictures, doors, and ledges, polish furniture, and mop the woodwork. Put away cleaning materials. Replace furniture and curtains. Attend to flowers and return vases to tho room.
By working in this order you will find that nothing has been left undone, and your cleaning has cost you ouly tbo minimum of time and energy.
