How Tall Are Your Guests?

How to Clean Your House Strategically

By , About.com Guide

If your house needs to be dusted before you entertain, and you don't have a lot of time to spare, it could be useful to know the height of your tallest guest. That's because I recommend that you don't dust any higher than your tallest guest. After all, no one is going to get on a stepstool to do the proverbial white glove test in your home. Later, when you do have the time, you can dust all those picture frames, vases and knick-knacks on the high shelves.
