Household Tips

Easy dust it. To dust high and low places without bending and stooping, make a handy dust mop by stapling your dust rag to a gift-wrap tube. 

Tip for tucking. When making your bed, use a wooden pizza paddle to help you tuck in sheets and blankets.  

Make your bed.  To make making your bed easier, use a large, lightweight bedspread or comforter that can be slipped easily over your sheets.  Just smooth your sheets and throw the comforter over them.  

Double duty. When cleaning house, give up that hard-to-grip dust rag. Instead, wear an old pair of gloves or socks on your hands for dusting.

 Strategic storage. In a two-story house, stash a complete set of cleaning tools – including separate vacuum cleaners – on each floor. That way, you’ll always have supplies handy and won’t have to carry heavy equipment up and down stairs.

Mr. Joseph for ease in getting fitted sheet on bed---start at head of bed and put over mattress, then go to bottom opposite side and fit over. Then go to the other head of bed and then to opposite side.
