I also have a 1948 Ironrite mangle which makes short work of ironing sheets and cup towels (I can't deal with a curled up hem on anything, it simply must lay flat or it drives me insane).<br /><br />When my children were teenagers, I believed in productive discipline. A job that produced a visible result was given for misbehavior. Most often, polishing the silver flatware. When family gatherings rolled around, I knew my sons could polish the silver and they would do it quickly and efficiently. Now they are grown, and laugh at their expertise in polishing silver.<br /><br />Ironing, polishing silver and giving a lovely piece of furniture a nice polish with wax always fill me with a sense of accomplishment when I am done. Not so much the mopping and vacuuming......KarmannGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15670915709671002232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881349691280291715.post-26573364593395884072016-04-30T06:27:33.998-07:002016-04-30T06:27:33.998-07:00AndI thought I was the only one who loved polishin...AndI thought I was the only one who loved polishing wood furniture!

That's the end of my cleaning hates. Everything else there is a way to make it luxurious. Even if one does it themselves;)Omani Princess (not Omani...yet)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11738377563210269837noreply@blogger.com
