Pet hair can be hard to control, especially on furniture. Here are a couple of ideas for fast clean up:

• Ball up an old pair of pantyhose and rub them all over your furniture – they’re really great at picking up pet hair.

• Buy a cheap lint roller (the kind with sticky tape) and roll it over the furniture.

Baking soda has many practical uses, especially in the kitchen. Use baking soda on a damp sponge to clean and deodorize all kitchen and bathroom surfaces . Here are a few ideas:

• Put an open box in your fridge and freezer to eliminate odors and bad tastes.

• Sprinkle some in the bottom of your trashcans.

• Sprinkle some down your drain and garbage disposal to eliminate odors.

Who would have thought a house-cleaning tip would mean doing a dance? If your floor needs a good mopping but you don’t have time, simply wet two towels, put one under each foot, and “shuffle” them across the room. You’ll find this quite effective as well as fun.
