CLEANING HINTS!

Windows:
Layers of dirty film on windows and screens provide a helpful filter against harmful and aging rays from the sun. Call it an SPF factor of 15 and leave it alone.

Cobwebs:
Cobwebs artfully draped over lampshades reduce the glare from the bulb, thereby creating a romantic atmosphere.
If your husband points out that the light fixtures need dusting,
simply look confused and exclaim, "What? And spoil the mood? "

Pet Hair:
Explain the mound of pet hair brushed up against the doorways
by claiming you are collecting it there to use for stuffing hand sewn play animals for underprivileged children.

Guests:
If unexpected company is coming, pile everything unsightly into one room and close the door. As you show your guests through your tidy home, rattle the door knob vigorously, fake a growl and say,
"I'd love you to see our Den, but Fluffy hates to be disturbed and the shots are SO expensive. "

Dusting:
If dusting is REALLY out of control, simply place a showy urn on the coffee table and insist that, "This is where Grandma wanted us to scatter her ashes. "

Painting:
Don't bother repainting. Simply scribble lightly over a dirty wall with an assortment of crayons and try to muster a glint of tears as you say, "Jr. did this the week before that unspeakable accident & I haven't had the heart to clean it. "

General Cleaning:
Mix one-quarter cup pine-scented household cleaner with four cups of water in a spray bottle. Mist the air lightly. Leave dampened rags in conspicuous locations. Develop an exhausted look, throw yourself on the couch and sigh, "I clean and I clean and I still don't get anywhere.
