RECALL "GOOD OLD DAYS" WHEN
SPRING CLEANING WAS CHORE
Many of us remember the "good
old days" of spring cleaning—with
the rugs hung on the clothesline
for a thorough walloping; every
window thrown wide to let spring
breezes blow away the odor of win-
ter; and the cat perched high on
the mantle, well out of range of
the annual sweeping and scrub-
bing and waxing.
Today, it is said that new gad-
gets such as air conditioners and
vacuum cleaners make spring
cleaning unnecessary. But early
training dies hard, and most of us
feel that Springtime should see
our homes especially clean and
sparkling.
Luckily, cleaning techniques
have improved over the years, and
it's possible today to have our
homes clean as new pennies with-
out exhausting ourselves in the
process. Here are a few tips on
organization and techniques from
the Singer Floor Care Council,
who offer a two-day schedule for
each floor of a home, so you can
finish upstairs and downstairs in
four days—with a day left over
for flower arranging.
The trick is to do each floor as
if it were a single room, and to
use all your mechanical aids at
once, to eliminate constant trips
to the broom closet. You'll need
a basket to gather up odds and
ends, and all the attachments for
your vacuum cleaner and floor pol-
isher. If you don't have a rolling
table, drag out junior's red wagon.
Make your first trip around the
basket, and gather up all the old
magazines, letters, broken ash
trays, odd mittiens, toys and other
litter. Put then in the garage to
be coped with later. Clear the
decks as much as possible. If
you are taking down the curtains,
do it" now.
Then do all your vacuuming in
living room, dining room, foyer,
play room and kitchen. Start at
the top with your dusting brush,
getting moldings, larhpshades, win-
dow sills, picture frames and other
decorative items, all flat surfaces,
including window panes, and fin-
ally baseboards, Then ,switch to
-your upholstery brush to take care
of the fabric furnishings and the
curtains, if they are still up. The
crevice tool is next, to get behind
radiators and into the cracks of
the upholstery. Next comes the
floor brush, and finally the revolv-
ing brush attachment for the rugs.
If window -washing is on your
schedule, do that too, but save
the outside till you can get at
them with a garden hose and a
squeeze.
This should about finish the first
day. Leave your vacuum cleaner
out, for you'll have one more job
for it tomorrow.
On the second day, concentrate
on your versatile rug -cleaning floor
polisher. It will take care of just
about every flat surface in the
house, including the dining room
table.
Begin by fitting it with its scrub-
bing brushes and filling its con-
tainer with wax remover. Scrub
the kitchen floor and all wood
floors. Mop up solution from wood
floors immediately after scrub-
bing. Pour leftover solution into
a bowl, and use it to do the wood-
work, diluting it further accord-
ing to the instructions on the can.
Then fill the dispenser with rug
shampoo, and scrub your rug. By
the time this is finished, the floors
should he ready for a waxing. Fill
the zippered wax packs with paste
wax, and let the polisher do the
work of applying the wax. Begin
with your good wood surfaces,
such as the dining table, and do

the floors last. If you prefer liquid
wax, fill the dispenser withjt.
By the time you've done all the
floors and the wood surfaces, the
first coat of wax will be dry en-
ough to polish. Fit the polishing
brushes to the machine, and pol-
ish the floors. Then fit the lamb's
wool buffer pads over the brush-
es, and let the polisher buff your
dining table, coffee table, and oth-
er pieces of wood furniture before
applying the buffer pads to the
floor.
By the time the waxing is done,
your rug will be dry. Vacuum it
slowly and thoroughly to lift out
the suspended soil.
the time this is finished, the oors
all your equipment upstairs in-
stead of returning it to the broom
closet. Then follow the same pro-
cedure for the second floor.
If you start on Monday, you'll
finish on Thursday—and have all
day Friday to put things away,
pick some flowers and put your
feet up. You'll -feel that you've
done your share to help spring
over the threshold, and you'll feel
more virtuous than Grandma ever
did. Besides, .your house will be
cleaner than hers was.
Fire Chief Scott
Urges Necessity
Of Cleaning Up
Don't let fire hide in. your home
—Clean -Up, Fix -Up, Paint-Up—
Fire Chief John F. Scott advises.
"That old box of cast-off cloth-
ing, the pile of newspapers in the
basement. the oily mop in the clos-
et, and the storeroom's flammable
liquids' are all hideaways for fire's
threat," the Fire Chief explained.
"And unpainted wood is ready fuel
for fire," Chief Scott continued.
"For the protection of your fam-
ily and home, get rid of old cloth-
ing, magazines, mattresses and
papers. Protect wood surfaces
with paint. Dispose of oily mops
and rags and all flammable items.
Get rid of dried grass and leaves,
especially those near the house
foundation. Check your wiring to
be certain it is adequate to jet
present - day electrical require-
ments.
"Fight fire before it starts by
getting rid of its hiding place,"
Chief Scott advised, as he urged
