We used to go camping and my mum would grab a slipper or plimsoll (yes I remember them too
) turn it upside down and use it as a brush to sweep out the tent! Couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw her do it and it always made me smile when she swept the tent floor. I don't know where that idea came from but her mum was in service and my mum got a lot of clever little tips to make housework easier from her. I must ask her about them the next time I see her. 3 -
When I was a teenager I had long hair down to my waist. Before I hoovered my bedroom I’d put rubber gloves on and make like I was wiping crumbs off a table. Brought up all the long hairs and probably saved our hoover!The softer bristles of a double sided dog brush brings up dog hair from carpet too. Just pretend you’re brushing a dog that likes a good hard brushing 🙂
edit - they work directly on the dog too!"One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate change policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world's wealth." - Ottmar Edenhofer, IPCC economist, interviewed at COP163
