Tips
Housecleaning is
awesome-especially if
you’re trying to do a com
plete and thorough Job in a
short time each year. If
you’re doing fall
housecleaning, use your
head as well as your
muscles.
Take your time. When
tired, take a break. No rule
says thorough housecleaning
is limited to just a few weeks
in a ,year. Thorough

housecleaning may be done
in other ways.
If it fits into your schedule,
you might find it less tiring
to clean one room at a time.
Or perhaps, just do one big
job a week throughout the
year.
Dress comfortably so
you’ll get your house cleaned
safely. For some women,
pants are suitable
housecleaning attire. But if
you choose to wear a dress,
put on a simple dress #ith a
moderately full skirt-one
not so full catches it on
things and not so tight it
restricts your movements.
Don’t wear a dress with
huge, gapping pockets. They
could get in the way and
catch on things. But you’ll
find smaller pockets an
advantage for safekeeping of
smaller items you pick up
when cleaning and want to
keep track of until you can
put them where they belong.
Choose a sleeveless dress
or one with short sleeves.
Long, flowing sleeves will
get in the way. And wear
good fitting, comfortable
shoes you won’t mind getting
soiled.
If you make your home
safer as well as cleaner,
you’ll get even greater
satisfaction from your
housecleaning. When you
clean, throw out unused
items, rearrange closets and
storage areas. And correct
any possible safety hazards
you find.
New Look for
Potato Chips?
Potato chips-fried with
the peels intact-may be a
new item in the market place
soon. Scientists at the Red
River Valley Potato
Research Center in Min
nesota have been ex
perimenting with this new'
product.
Unpeeled potato chips
probably are more nutritious
because many of the
nutrients in the potato are
found close to the peel.
Appearance wise, the only
difference is a “golden ring”
on the unpeeled potato chips.
Reactions from taste
testers were favorable
because either peeled or
unpeeled potatoes rated
similar in flavor, ap
pearance and shelf-life.
Not peeling potatoes could
eliminate one of the problem
areas of processing-and
result in lower costs to the
consumer. It would also
eliminate disposal of the
waste. The research, thus
far, is still experimental and
there are no potato chips
with skins now in com
mercial production.
How To Care
for Umbrellas
Prevent wrinkling of your
uihbrella by allowing it to
dry in an open position.
Avoid leaving a closed
umbrella in the sun, warn
Extension specialists at The
Pennsylvania State
University for it will develop
faded streaks. To remove
spots, the specialists suggest
you spray it with a solution
made with warm water and
detergent, working carefully
to avoid streaking the fabric.
