Hints On Housecleaning
.From The H. D. Agent
By: Janet Sollenberger
House cleaning today calls for less elbow grease than in years past, because many of the modern detergents dissolve soil . . . especially greasy spil . . . more rapidly and effectively than ordinary soap and water, says Lucille Williamson of the New York State Experiment Station. When washing walls, woodwork and other painted surfaces with the newer cleaners, or shampooing “upholstery and rugs, Mrs. Williamson suggests trying gentle handling instead of old fashioned vigorous lubbing and scrubbing. This saves wear on the housewife as well as on finishes and fabrics. When finishes and fabrics are softened and moistened and made soft with alkaline cleaners or other detergents, scrubbing may cause unnecessary wear.
Generally, four steps are recommended when cleaning with water: 1. Removing loose dirt by advance brushing or vacuum cleaning; 2. Applying the detergent solution to the surface rapidly, using as little of the detergent as possible to prevent soaking upholstery or dripping down painted surfaces; 3. Removing the detergent by going over the surface rapidly with a sponge or absorbent cloth wrung out of water; Drying by quick light rubbing with a towel.
