Odd Cleaning Jobs

Indoor Plants

Remember, plants get dusty too. You can clean small plants in the kitchen sink, and larger ones enjoy a shower in the bathroom.

Doorknobs

Always disinfect doorknobs, switch-plates and telephones. They collect germs from everyone who touches them.

Cobwebs

If you can't reach the cobwebs with your feather duster, use the detached vacuum wand as an extension.

Ashtrays

Spray furniture polish on hard to clean ashtrays. Ashes then dump out without sticking.

Cleaning Combs and Brushes

Use a combination of baking soda and hot water to clean hair brushes and combs.

Cleaning Marble

To remove stains, sprinkle salt on a fresh cut lemon. Rub very lightly over stain. Do not rub hard or you will ruin the polished surface. Wash off with soap and water.

Cleaning Acoustical Tiles

• Clean with the dust-brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner.
• Remove stains and dirt with mild soap and water. Don't let the tiles get too wet.
