USING SHOWER CAPS FOR GARDENING
Dear Heloise: Here’s an idea that I’ve benefited from for years. Whenever I stay in a hotel, I save the shower caps that are usually provided for free. Because I garden, I regularly track in grass clippings and dirt on my shoes. Putting the shower caps on over my shoes when I go outside prevents this.
I keep the shower caps near my door so that I can just pull them on and off as needed. This really helps to keep my floors clean. A word of warning, though: If it’s icy or snowy, don’t do this. Too slippery! — Robin W., via email…
