Anything to keep the floor clean ...by Using Cotton Rags
Anything to keep the floor clean.

Teach kids good cleaning habits by being neat and tidy yourself. Hanging up clothes and putting things away after you use them sets a good example.
Assign specific chores to kids and set a limit on when the chore has to be done.
Put hooks and pegs on the backs of room door and on the insides of closet doors for quick hangups when the kids come in.
Let the kids do some "adult" clean up jobs. Sometimes loading the dishwasher or helping mom clean up after a baking session is fun, especially for smaller children and it teaches good habits.
Let kids listen to whatever they want to while they are cleaning. A little noise will be worth a clean room!
Assign each child a towel and make sure they hang it up every day. This saves unnecessary washing.

Cleaning Stuffed Animals ...by Using Cloth Wipers
Cleaning Stuffed Animals

Puts kids' stuffed animals inside a pillow case, tie a knot in it and wash them in the washing machine.
You can also freshen the animals by placing them in a paper sack with baking soda and shaking them up good.
If the animal is stuffed with natural fibers it should not be immersed in water, but can be wiped off with a soapy cloth, followed by a clean wet cloth.
Make sure the animal doesn't have torn seams before you put it in the washing machine.
Look for plastic parts before tossing a stuffed animal in the dryer.
Make sure the animal doesn't have a "sound box" or other mechanical parts before you put them in the washing machine and dryer.
Helping Kids Stay Uncluttered
Put away half of your kids' toys and switch them around every few months. They'll have plenty to play with and their room will stay cleaner.
Label boxes, baskets, milk crates, plastic tubs - anything they might store toys in - to teach them how to sort toys and keep them off the floor. Let the kids decorate the containers they use so they will be personal and fun.
Set a short period of time each day or each week that kids have to straighten up their room. Make a game out of it with a timer and give rewards to all kids for jobs well done. It will become a good habit and they'll have fun.
Get the kids to go through their toys periodically and pick out some things that they don't play with anymore. Pack them up and take them somewhere where there are kids who don't have enough toys.
Put bookshelves in every available place where the kids can stack their toys, books, etc.

Helpful Hints Cleaning the Bathroom ...by Using Cloth Wipers
Helpful Hints Cleaning the Bathroom

Always keep an all-purpose cleaner and a sponge in the guest bath so you can sneak away and clean up when unexpected company shows up.
Keep a squeegee in the shower so everyone can wipe it down when they are done (this will help prevent mildew).
Steam helps to loosen build-up so why not clean while you're in there?
Disinfectant can be used on everything in the bath except the mirror.
Don't forget doorknobs and switchplates.

Cleaning Sooty walls ...by Using Cotton Rags
Cleaning Sooty walls

Increased use of wood stoves and fireplaces and some return to coal stoves, may result in increased deposits of smoky, sooty soil on walls, and ceilings near the stoves. This soil is greasy, and therefore an alkaline cleaner works best to remove it. A stronger solution is usually needed than for normal soil, but too strong a solution can damage the wall finish.

On painted walls and woodwork, a solution of one tablespoon of trisodium phosphate (TSP) in 1 gallon warm water, applied with a wiping rag should remove this soil. Rinse well with a wiping rag dipped in clear water. Wiping off excess water with absorbent cotton rags (which can be laundered and reused many times) leaves the surface cleaner. Change washing and rinse waters often.

If this solution does not remove the sooty soil, a little more TSP can be added but try not to get much more than 2 tablespoonsful per gallon. Too much TSP will dull the surface of paint, or actually remove paint. TSP is sold in paint stores used by professional painters, and is actually used in stronger concentrations to remove paint or dull the surface gloss of enamel before repainting.

Alkalis that may be added to warm water for removing these greasy soil deposits include ammonia, washing soda, and laundry detergent (low sudsing types are easiest to rinse off). Try a small amount first, and only increase the concentration if the soil is stubborn, remembering too strong a solution will remove some paint. Wear rubber gloves to protect your skin. Avoid spilling on other surfaces in the room and wipe up promptly if spills do occur.

Cleaning off such soil is best done as an annual chore, in late spring, after the heating season is ended. Then walls will stay clean longer.

1. If thick amount left, scrape off excess with table knife.
2. Use warm iron and white paper towel method as under "grease spots".
3. For non-washable papers, try paste spot remover as under "grease spots".
