Dust Busters
- Make Cleaning A Breeze
Cleaning and dusting will no
longer be a chore if you have an assortment of "dust busters"
available to assist you with the cleaning.
(A) To extend the life
of your sponge mop simply make a "mop cover" out of left over
scrap terry cloth or an old worn bath towel. Cut the terry cloth
about 2 1/2" - 3" bigger than the mop, sew quarter inch elastic
around the outside edge (the elastic piece should be the size of the
sponge mop), and presto, a washable, durable mop head. After use,
just throw it into the washer and dryer so it will be clean for the next
time.
(B) The same type of
terry cloth cover can be made for your dust mop. This new covered
dust mop is perfect to get those hard to reach corners and walls by the
ceiling.
(C) For a "broom
duster" sew two old hand towels on three sides, leaving one end
open. Sew elastic around the open end (elastic from discarded panty
hose is just about the right size!). This cover will slip over a
broom to use for dusting in those hard to reach places. Once again,
when finished simply throw it in the washer and dryer to clean it for the
next time.
(D) Still another dust
buster idea is to take that old towel you used to make the mop covers out
of and cut a strip the length of the towel and 2 1/2" wide. Sew
the strip with 1/4" seams and turn right side out. This strip
easily slides onto a yardstick, which can be used to slide under the
refrigerator, washer and dryer for quick cleaning. When finished,
throw it into the washer and dryer along with the other dust busters, so
they'll be clean for the next time.
