"I t's easy to feel overw helm ed by out door chores," says Rosen. " By conquer ing each task on its own and applying a few sim ple tips, you'll be surprised at how quickly the jo b can be done." Squeaky Clean To reach outdoor windows, use a regu lar mop. Its handle will make it easy to scrub the window. Secondly, rinse with a hose then wrap a heavy-duty cloth around the mop head to dry and polish the win dows. Stained-glass w indows are fragile and require special care. Simply dust and wipe clean with distilled water on a non abrasive, damp cloth. Do not soak the cloth, spray the glass or use scouring pads, steel wool or any abrasive cleansers. Driver Tips Taking a sum m er holiday? Keep your car w indshield clean by packing pre m oistened cloths. If you find car wash wax built up on the w indshield, wet a cloth with vinegar and wipe the windows clean. Keep an extra cloth on hand for checking the oil. Vacuuming regularly and wiping with a dam p soft cloth can clean a leather car interior. The same goes for the seat o f a m otorcycle. Do not use cleaning solvents, ink rem overs, or p ain t rem overs on coloured leather. Use a soft heavy-duty cloth to wipe a fiberglass boat after w inter storage or docking. Farm equipm ent and riding lawn m owers often need a powerful wash and dry to avoid rust during storage. TiTiiKim S Affordable city home on cul-de-sac with park. Freehold townhome built 1984.
