This takes me back to my childhood. My Nan took so much pride in her home and its been passed on to my mom and now me. It's a way of life and never that dreaded chore.

Great video although I don't agree with making the bed in the morning as I was brought up to air the bed

I live this way. Unfortunately, the other two adults in my house do not (I wasn’t responsible for raising them!!) and it drives. Me. Nuts!

Great advice. I had an American grandma, and this is how she kept house and I was taught to do as well. This is great, but most of the black and white footage of construction and WWII video has absolutely nothing to do with the subject.
