About this product

Product Information

Long ago (before Pledge, Handi-Wipes, and Scrubbing Bubbles), in a galaxy far, far away (Picketfence, U.S.A.), folks wouldn't think of letting strange people--or strange chemicals--do their housework for them. It was a simpler time when, armed with nothing more than a can of Bon Ami and a box of Oxydol, people set about creating their own tidy vision of happiness--clean, homey, and oh so inviting.Classic Household Hints returns to those lovely days of yesteryear to gather hundreds of time- and money-saving tips on all things chez nous---from cleaning and organizing your home to buying and handling food. Want the freshest eggs in the store? Pick the ones whose shells feel roughest to the touch. Is that expensive floor wax remover you bought lying down on the job? Simple ammonia will do the trick. The book's quick-take, better-than-ever information is accompanied by lively full-color retro illustrations, fascinating sidebars, quotes, and mini-facts that provide a frisky, informal look at American home life from the 1920s through the 1960s. This winning combination makes Classic Household Hints the perfect gift for nostalgia-hungry baby boomers, soon-to-be-homemakers, and neat freaks of every persuasion.

Go Green with Retro household hints
Helped me to remember things grandmom taught me years ago. Now that I have a mid-century home, I needed to be reminded. Love the floor and window cleaning tips. never knew I could soak my old handmade broom to renew it. Money saving tips. Love that the author added modern tips to update info. Fun rainy day reading. Cute photos. Now I've found more uses for vinegar and I finally learned how to use that ancient cake of Bon Ami my home's previous owner left behind!
