Home Maintenance Tips From The Kitchen And Workshop
Rusty or dusty furnace pipes heat faster than painted ones. Disconnect electric iron after use to prevent fires. Vacuum draperies and slip covers before washing to ease cleaning. Rub furniture with furniture polish or lemon oil to conceal scratches. Mahogany scratches can be retouched with matching stain. Choose large heat holders that fit utensils and keep near stove. Use washable holders and store near cooking area.
