- Moving heavier furniture – no need to ask for help or take items / clothes out of the closet if you want to move the closet. Place a piece of felt under each leg (corner of the closet) and put a piece of linoleum on that piece again. Thus, each person can move the furniture independently without fear of scratching the floors.
- Dried parquet on the floors – over time, cracks are created between the parts of the parquet due to drying of the boards. Dust and dirt inevitably settle in the cracks. First you need to remove all impurities from the cracks. Then fill the cracks with paste of mixed glue and sawdust of oak wood. When the mixture dries in the crack, then level the parquet with steel wire. Then coat the parquet with special wax or varnish.
- Window cleaner – add one tablespoon of vinegar to a pot of water. The windows will sparkle if you use this washing mixture.

- Maintenance of carpets and rugs – in addition to the usual cleaning with a vacuum cleaner, it is sometimes good to clean the carpets with a clean cotton cloth dipped in a solution of water and vinegar. Wipe in the direction of the hair on the carpet.
- Carpet with strips – the strips on the ends of the carpet often get dirty and messy. This is easily avoided if you lightly rub the strips with a light starch solution. Place old newspapers under the tape so that the floors are not damaged.
- Twisting the corners on the carpet – stick a triangular piece of choke or felt on the back of each corner of the carpet. Or if you already have a rug with twisted corners — then turn the rug upside down and pull over the bent ends with a damp sponge and then an iron.
