Grandma's Household Hints And Tips May Be Old-Fashioned, But They Can Save You Time And Money Today


Old fashioned ringer washer

Grandma used these helpful household hints to save herself time and money. In her day there were no convenience stores, no supermarkets, and very few labor-saving appliances. You had to be resourceful and make do with what you had.

So, you were always on the lookout for helpful house cleaning tips and laundry hints, and a good tip for carpet and window cleaning would never go amiss. Yes, helpful household hints were a necessity.

Here's just a few of the tips you will find:

How to prevent salt from lumping; how to soften jeans; how two forks and a knife can substitute for a corkscrew; how to make old-fashioned white wash; how to remove stains from clothing; how to forecast the day's weather, and more.

Something For Everyone

There really is something for everyone on these pages and more will be added. To help you with Grandma's easy dessert recipes, I have included some old-fashioned cooking tips, cooking measures, measure and weights, liquid measures, and wood stove oven temperatures.

The helpful household tips include old-fashioned household cleaning hints, clothes cleaning tips, and suggestions for cleaning glass and carpets. Some of these practical tips will even save you money.

"Economize time, health, and means, and you will never beg." --Anon.

You will also discover information on Victorian crafts, and there are even some folklore signs of weather to experiment with.

Relax and enjoy your visit.
