Cleaning 101

Hi, My brilliant husband came up with a terrific idea. School for the cleaning impaired. I need to offer courses in the maintenance and upkeep of the home and personal property. "Home-ec" for the next generation. There is a need. I have seen it, along with the dirt. We have a whole generation that has no idea how to clean, sew, fix or keep their stuff. I can handle instruction on household cleaning and repair, Marshall is an expert on mechanical, electronic and electrical items. We could make a small fortune teaching people how to deal with the basic necessity items that break and require cleaning. I can see it now.....look out Molly-Maid! Can't you just picture it. The oportunity to delve into the secrets of laundry, the how & why of stain removal, buying a power washer, sewing a table cloth, knitting a Peter heater and so much more. Making a jello mould, the all-time favorite grapefruit basket, dessert presentation using doilies and icing sugar....the list is endless. Home-ec has become a totally lost art. It's time to revive it. I seem to be the only person who knows that baking powder and vinegar will clean anything or the trick of using shaving cream to clean up carpet stains. Heloise and I are a dying breed. If you don't know who she is, you need to take my course. What will the next generation do without all this useful info? The trash pile is getting higher everyday and we don't recycle enough stuff. We are going to drown in our own garbage. It's time to learn to keep things from becoming tomorrows garbage heap. Cleaning up after ourselves is just a microcosm of how we keep our planet. If we delt with our own backyards, the rest of the world would be simple....and cleaner for it. Xox M
