Show Why Tote Extra Pails WhenCleaning How much does a bucket of water weigh? Plenty. Every time you tote that pail you're lifting approximately one-eighth of your own weight! The customary two-gallon pail of water weighs about 17 pounds. Multiply this by the 208 buckets that you use on an average during the year and you'll see that you do a powerful pow-erful lot of tiring hauling enough to equal your own weight 25 times or that of a young elephant. It makes sense therefore to eliminate as many backbreaking pails of water as possible, especially during the big-job cleaning season. One easy way to cut down on the use of water without impairing cleaning efficiency is to use cleaning products that do away with rinsing. For instance, when washing hard surface floors like vinyl and linoleum, it's no longer necessary to use one pail for suds and one for rinse water. A modern product like Spic and Span with nearly half again the amount of cleaning ingredients of the liquid cleaners, is specifically designed for no rinsing. All you do is dip your mop in a solution of half a cup to a pail (2 gallons) gal-lons) of hot water, squeeze almost dry and wipe up the floor in a jiffy. The same product can be used to wipe off cabinets, woodwork wood-work and walls all without that extra pail of rinse water. Be your own efficiency expert. Keep abreast of products that help you to cut out unnecessary motions, and look for ways of streamlining tasks. You'll be rewarded by your family's smiles when they come home, and see that Ma isn't all tuckered out from cleaning! |
