Fire safety and home maintenance tips from an old guide
Worn-out electrical cords should be discarded if unreparable. Sprinkle cornmeal on rugs to lift embedded dirt. Store curtains for the season without starch to prevent insect attraction and fabric weakening. Noise from motor benches can be reduced with rubber or felt cushions and base washers. In kitchens, keep flammable items away from the range and redesign layouts to reduce fire risk. Keep poisons out of children's reach on high shelves.
