Polly's Pointers from The Cedar Rapids Gazette
Dear Polly answers readers on home care and odd small household hacks. Topics include washing an old crocheted bedspread with bleach or color remover, drying on curtain stretchers, cleaning with a cotton glove on clotheslines, sharpening pencils with a vegetable peeler, fabric bookmark durability in double knit, and draining water from hanging plants using a dish drainer to prevent spills.
