HOUSEWORK EQUIPMENT REQUIRES CARE:
A car takes people from one place to another, and housework equipment takes a home from dirty to clean, which is why it’s important for a housewife to take care of her housework equipment similar to the way a car is cared for. Vacuums need bags and filters changed (depending on the style), dryers need the lint screen cleaned to avoid fire hazards, and washing machines require cleaning of the drum as well; it also helps to regularly wipe down housework equipment to clean any dirt and marks. Cleaning and caring for housework equipment is a practical solution to help equipment last longer and keep it looking its best.
