Hi Freepers. I occasionally write a Household Helper Hints blog/article and decided to share my latest one with you all. Personal information removed, sadly.

Anyway, I hope someone gets some good information out of this - I learned a few things!

Dusting for single guys involves the air compressor and putting the big shop fan at the open back door. 120 PSI gets rid of those cobwebs in the corner.

To heck with feather dusters.

I use my cordless leafblower....but only when wifey’s not in the vicinity. So far, she’s none the wiser for it.

I may have to get a cordless leaf blower. I don't have one of them wifey things anymore. Obviously. ;)

I use it for tons of stuff....clean my hairbrush, clean my ‘lectric shaver, and once in awhile actually blow the patio.

Ha—I’m pretty certain the last traditionally masculine, single man in America will be a Freeper.

I tried but the 7’ tree wouldn’t fit into the freezer.

Very helpful. Thanks. I never thought of dust when it comes to getting everything out each year. Like the idea of leaving everything out where the weather is cold to get rid of mites etc.

LOL! “Dusting for single guys” ....

What does “decorating for Single guys” involve?

;-)

“I tried but the 7’ tree wouldn’t fit into the freezer.”

You’re gonna need a bigger freezer.

You’re welcome! Glad somebody else learned a thing too.
I never thought of the cold air method, either!

Also use my leafblower to “vacuum” out the car. Open the doors and fire it up. No bending to get under the seats and it works great to the dust around the dash.

A wad of Christmas lights, hanged on a hook and plugged in. ;)

“A wad of Christmas lights, hanged on a hook and plugged in”

You know, if you hung the lights on Holiday-colored hangers accented with bows and/or ribbons, and hung several of them in groupings of three - you’d have a mighty fine Christmas display!

You know, some little Jingle-Bell Harnesses and antlers would dress these critters right up for Christmas! If you can’t beat em, decorate em!

I'm done with that task. I won't revisit it until time for the lights to go back in the box on Jan 1st.

The single guy shouldn't ever have to put his Christmas tree up more than once. I only take mine down because the wifey-thing gets fed up with it.

Hint: you can also use the beeswax candles to free sticky drawers and zippers.
