Purana mota moza haath par chadha ke pankha, blind aur taar dust karo. Ungliyon se har kone tak pahunchte ho, aur moza ulta karke bin mein.

A fan that hums at low speed often just has dust caked on the blades, unbalancing it. Clean the blades and the top of the motor housing before you call anyone. If it still hums, that is an electrician's job, not yours.
Pull a long sock over a broom handle, slide it along each fan blade and pull back. The dust comes off inside the sock instead of onto the bed. Turn the sock inside out over the bin.
Wipe a window mesh with a barely damp cloth wrapped around a butter knife. It gets into the frame corner where dust cakes and the mesh does not stretch out of shape.
One mat outside catches the grit, one inside catches what the first one missed. Two cheap mats cut how often you mop more than any single expensive one.
A spoon of baking soda in the bottom of the bin, under the liner, kills the smell that hits you when you open the lid. Refresh it when you change the bag.
A creaking hinge does not need WD-40. A drop of any cooking oil on the pin, then swing the door ten times to work it in. Wipe the run-off or it collects dust and blackens the frame.
Rub a plain candle along the wooden runners of a jammed drawer or window. The wax fills the rough grain and the drawer glides. Better than oil, which just collects dust and turns into paste.
Self-adhesive foam strip along the window frame gap stops the cold draught that no amount of blankets fixes. Same strip keeps dust out in summer, so leave it on year round.
Sooti purani T-shirt ka pochha bazaar ke duster se behtar sokhta hai aur muft hai. Button aur zip pehle kaat dena, warna farsh par nishan aa jaayega.
Wipe diluted neem oil on the window mesh at dusk. Mosquitoes avoid the smell and it does not fill the room with vaporiser fumes. Redo it after rain.
That is all 11 of them. बस, इतना ही।
