    CLEANING HINTS!

    List of Ingredients



    Windows:
    Layers of dirty film on windows and screens
    provide a helpful filter against harmful and aging rays from the sun.
    Call it an SPF factor of 15 and leave it alone.

    Cobwebs:
    Cobwebs artfully draped over lampshades reduce the glare from the bulb,
    thereby creating a romantic atmosphere. If your husband points out that
    the light fixtures need dusting, simply look confused and exclaim,
    "What? And spoil the mood?"

    Pet Hair:
    Explain the mound of pet hair brushed up against the doorways by
    claiming you are collecting it there to use for stuffing hand sewn play
    animals for underprivileged children.

    Guests:
    If unexpected company is coming,
    pile everything unsightly into one room and close the door.
    As you show your guests through your tidy home,
    rattle the door knob vigorously, fake a growl and say,
    "I'd love you to see our Den,
    but Fluffy hates to be disturbed and the shots are SO expensive."

    Dusting:
    If dusting is REALLY out of control,
    simply place a showy urn on the coffee table and insist that, "This is
    where Grandma wanted us to scatter her ashes."

    Painting:
    Don't bother repainting.
    Simply scribble lightly over a dirty wall with an assortment of crayons
    and try to muster a glint of tears as you say, "Jr. did this the week
    before that unspeakable accident & I haven't had
    the heart to clean it."

    General Cleaning:
    Mix one-quarter cup pine-scented household cleaner with four cups of
    water in a spray bottle.
    Mist the air lightly.
    Leave dampened rags in conspicuous locations.
    Develop an exhausted look, throw yourself on the couch and sigh, "I
    clean and I clean and I still don't get anywhere.
