HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE useful piece of domestic cleaning apparatus — the vacuum cleaner — is not available, the carpet should be swept each day with a carpet sweeper to remove crumbs, etc., and brushed once a week with a hard carpet brush, the carpet being first sprinkled with tea-leaves, which have been well washed and are only slightly damp, to prevent, in some degree, the dust from rising. In homes which are equipped with electricity, however, the purchase of a vacuum cleaner is a really sound investment, and, should the housewife not be able to make an individual purchase, it is sometimes possible for several friends to club together and buy a vacuum which they use in turn. This plan has been followed by members of women’s institutes in certain villages. Hand-power vacuum cleaners are also available for the housewife in whose home electricity has not yet been laid; these, of course, entail labour on the part of the housewife instead of the work being done by electricity.
