hHousecleaning tipsfrom a professional
Twenty-three years as a professional house cleaner have given Carol J. Klima a pretty good handle on keeping a house clean. Now she's sharing her techniques in "Squeaky Clean: Ways to Clean Like a Pro." Klima's book is a no-nonsense guide geared to people starting a cleaning business, but it's useful to anyone who cleans house. It provides instructions for cleaning specific rooms and items as well as suggestions for products that make the job easier.
"Squeaky Clean" is published by Homestead Press and is priced at $15.50. It's available at some bookstores and can be ordered at (888) 769-6335.
Table gives stability
Portability is one of the features that draws buyers to laptops. But balancing your laptop on a TV tray or your lap can be precarious.
California company Offi has an answer in the Mag Table ($129-$159, depending on finish) -- a hybrid that functions as a table with a built-in magazine rack or, when standing on one end, a laptop stand.
Then there's the Overlap Tray, which enables you to use a laptop comfortably while sitting on the floor.
The tray retails for $127 for birch and $151 for walnut.
