Quick Household Tips for Easy Cleaning and Care
Do not rip sheets from beds. Gently pull corners to free them from springs. Turn sheets so the wide hem isn’t always on top. Pillow slips should not be used as laundry bags. Sew a snap fastener inside trouser cuffs to ease letting down cuffs for cleaning. Dust ribbon knots with talcum powder to loosen and separate them more easily.
