-Do two things at once. While laundry is going, scrub the shower stall.
-Make small repairs. If you’re not handy, hire someone.
-Invest in good rubber or vinyl gloves to protect your skin and nails.
-Dust before vacuuming or cleaning the floor. Try feather or lambswool dusters, especially extendable ones for reaching above window and door casings and into corners. Household rags are invaluable for jobs requiring a damp cloth – natural fibres work best.
