A veteran sitter with six years experience advises using a mother's scent during feeds to reassure a baby and avoiding pushiness with toddlers. She emphasizes following the child's bedtime routine, building trust gradually, and marketing services through church or cards. The note mentions caring for 46 children across 26 families.
Dear Polly advises on cleaning a large blood stain from a near new mattress and box spring. The writer fears smearing since previous stain removals worsened appearances.
Dear Polly writes about a sunny trip with windshield wipers and wax application for rubber tile arms. She notes warnings about adhesive bandages and wax types, preferring water based self polishing waxes. The letters advise reading wax directions carefully when making shirts and dresses.
Readers share practical home hacks via Polly in The Cedar Rapids Gazette. Advice covers floor care for rubber tile and paste wax usage, safe removal of thumbprints from colored photos, and hemming tricks using brown paper bag and hot iron. Three cheers for helpful solutions.
