My nana sure was a clever woman!

Growing up, I was always fascinated by the way my nana handled household chores with such ease and grace. It seemed like there was no problem she couldn’t solve with a little ingenuity and a lot of love. Her home was always spotless, and she had a knack for making cleaning seem less like a chore and more like a craft.
One of the most memorable lessons she taught me was her clever cleaning trick with rubber gloves. It was a simple yet effective method that left surfaces gleaming and dust-free. Her approach was not only practical but also environmentally friendly, long before ‘going green’ became a trend. Nana’s wisdom was a testament to her resourcefulness and her ability to make the most out of what she had.

Nana’s cleaning trick involved using a pair of rubber gloves, a common household item, to remove dust and pet hair from furniture and upholstery. The secret lay in the static electricity generated by the gloves, which attracted dust and hair like a magnet. This method was particularly effective on fabric surfaces where vacuum cleaners might struggle.
