Before you bring any new item
TAFF’S TIPS into your household, put some
thought into where you will put
it, and try to actually choose the
most logical room for it. Don’t feel like you have the
space? Don’t buy it until you make the space.

Thinking of doing a complete makeover of a room in
your house? Always take a picture first. It will be
amazing to see how you have progressed. Once you
are organized, take another photo. Don’t just keep it
as documentation. Tack it to your wall or put it
somewhere else handy. When the room starts looking
different from what you have in the picture, it may be
time to clean up again. Spot the differences and you
will immediately see what is out of place.

Have scratches on glass surfaces? Try rubbing
some toothpaste over the surface, and then
polish with a microfiber cloth. This can
really improve the appearance of the glass.

A wad of newspaper which you have dipped in a mixture of vinegar
and water (in a 1:10 ratio) can be a surprisingly effective way to clean
mirrors and windows.

Have an LCD monitor you need to clean? Try using a dry
microfiber cloth, buffing gently in wide, circular motions. The
larger your strokes, the better. If that still isn’t enough, you
can dampen it slightly with water. Never use anything other
than microfiber!

Copper and brass can both be
cleaned effectively using a salt
and lemon juice mixture
(amazing how many things that
is good for!). Use the salt in a 3:1
ratio with the juice.
