17 Housekeeping Tips from Grandma

Tidy Throughout The Day

Instead of waiting to clean up the mess at the end of the day, clean up messes as they happen. Don’t save all of your chores for one day! Keep tidying throughout the day in small increments.

Skip the Paper Towels

It may seem smart to use paper towels because it reduces laundry. Grandma, on the other hand, sees that it’s a product we throw away and it is a waste of money. Flour sack towels are great for clothing. Keep extra rags on hand!

Make Do With Less

Items create clutter and cost money. One of the best tips is to make do with less. Most things have other purposes aside from their first use. Didn’t you see grandma using grandpa’s underwear as a rag? Make do with less!

Clean Windows with Newspaper

Don’t use rags or paper towels on your windows! Instead, clean your windows with newspapers. It is one of the best ways to reduce streaks. By the way, don’t try to use the comic strips. You need black and white pages only for window cleaning!

Create Your Cleaning Products
