House-Cleaning Hints | House Cleaning Service

To clean a painted wall wash it with saleratus water; about one
tablespoonful of saleratus to a quart of warm water.

A piece of zinc placed on the glowing coals will clean the chimney of
soot.

A little lye put in paste will make wall-paper stick.
To drive a nail into plaster, heat it very hot and the plaster will not
break.

To drive nails or screws into hard wood always rub them over with soap and they will go in easily and will not split the wood.
Shellac the inside of all drawers and they will be easy to clean.
When you remove the waste from your carpet-sweeper,

carefully cut the lint and hair from the revolving rolls and brushes.
Then with a cloth
dipped in kerosene rub the bristles and the inside of the box clean, and
the oil will prevent the dust from rising when you sweep.
