My grandmother used Parson's Sudsy Ammonia to clean just about everything. Armed with a bottle of this stuff, a can of Comet, some Old English furniture polish, and (in a nod to the 1970s), some Mop N Glo, she believed you had almost everything you'd need to keep your house sparkling. Throw in some silver polish and you were all set. Her mantra was: "If your windows are clean and your silver is polished, no one will notice the dust."
I need a mantra like that. Something for the 21st century. How about: "If your life is hectic but your intentions are good, your friends will forgive your slovenly housekeeping?"
