SKIRTING THE BAY By EILEEN DIXON SPRING FEVER For most housewives mo rags soap brushes RK If youre one of those women who annually roll up their sleeves don their oldest clothes and wra scarf around their head Im hoping the following nts on spring cleaning will be of assistance The assuming youre unable to turn your home over to company which will clean all your walls ceilings floors carpets windows and furniture uphol stery all in one day gt One suggestion is to rent floorcleaning machine which is equ pped with brushes for scrubbing and poi ishing floorsnote of caution floors will discolor and can be mined if they are waxed more than oncea month Wash only if the floor wont shine otherwise damp mop it with cold water and then polish rin means one thing water and LOTS OF Once year layers of wax should be stripped from tile floors such as cork linoleum mastic vinyl and viny asbestos and hardwood floors Use recom mended wax stripper which is sold by commercial chemical company and not one you can buy in the supermarket Washing tile floors with good neutral detergent and plenty of hot water is recommended Allow the water to stay on the floor for 10 minutes and then scour with steelwool pad Pickup the dirty solution with mop or cloths and rinse the surface When the floor has dried apply two or three unl formiy thin coats of wax with cloth or lambswool ap plicator Dry and polish each coat separately Inaccessible areas such as corners and floor edges must be cleaned by hand You can renew hardwood floors glow with solution of varsol lt should be lied manually since the machine might ignite the fl it touches any nails SHORT CUTS The easiest and best way to apply paste wax to hardwood is to place large amount on clean soft cloth tie up the cloth ends and hit the wax bail in side with your hands until you see the wax seeping through Walls should be washed with recommended de tergent once every two years depending on whether you live in an area that is clean or has considerable air borne dirt Always start at the bottom of the wall to prevent water dri ping and permanently staining dirty surface Use two large natural sponges one for washing Windows wont streak if they are washed with solution of vinegar and water applied with lintfree cloth or sponge and blade apparatus as used by profes sional window cleaners Its ood idea to let professional cleaner look after your urniture upholstery and carpets An average chesterfield will cost approximately $850 to $9 an ann chair $450 and carpets eight to 10 cents square foot These are our personal suggestions other Barrie homemakers have this to say MAKE START Mrs William Little of Burton Avenue says she makes the start at cupboards and drawers in the bed rooms This is the job she dislikes the most and when this is completed he feels she is well on the way At the ame time she eliminates clothing the children have outgrown and gets garments ready for spring wearing She then tackles the walls and woodwork and after that the work schedule seems to fall into pattern says the active wife and mother Its one of those things you have to face sooner or later states Mrs Joseph Whelan of Eugenia Street Mrs Whelan has found the easiest way is to get out paint brush and spruce things up She has just finished painting her kitchen and now she is ready to tackle the rest of the house EASY STEPS Looking after five children is full time job says Mrs Harold Brett of Agnes Street who conquers the spring cleaning chore in easy steps Dont try to do it all in one day says the busy homemaker who com pletes one room at time Mrs Brett organizes her work from Monday to Friday and always has the weekend to spend with her husband and family well organized cleaning plan throughout the year means only few EXTRA jobs at spring cleaning time Husbands usually feel like taking off for some unknown destination when spring cleaning time arriv es says one Barrie homemaker Coming home to naked windows and displaced furniture not to mention dinner from can isnt hubbys idea of HOME She solved this dilemma many years ago with system Each month one for rinsing and this homemaker cleans one room Walls are washed windows cleaned curtains freshened and aired out doors Sending out of season clothes to the dry cleaners is the only spring cleaning activity in this ousehold PEOPLE AND PLACES Phona Eileen
