After a party, when you are cleaning up, wear rubber gloves to hand wash crystal and fine china. You'll have a better grip, so they don't slip out of your hands. When dried, you can put plastic wrap over china and crystal, so dust won't buildup when they are stored.

Computer Keyboard Dirty
Crumbs and dust in your keyboard? To remove, uplug and turn keyboard upside down over a trashcan and gently shake out all the crud that's stuck in and around the keys. Then wipe off keys with a lightly damp microfiber cloth (don't over-wet because you don't want liquid dripping into the keys).

Three Household Rules for the Bathroom
1. Nothing is left on the floor (family members must pick up clothes and towels).
2. If you use it, clean it (put caps back on products, wipe off counters and sink).
3. Right stuff in the right place (put everything used back where it belongs).
