attractive. Why? Because
Property Manager Herman
Gates fuses over it more than
most housekeepers do over
their own homes. Just before
show time. he runs a sweeper
over the carpet, dusts every
nook and corner and rubs a
soft cloth over the furniture,
which he polishes every few
weeks with a cream wax. Says
he: There's no quickie solu-
ton to housecleaning-but I
do know that keeping at it
regularly saves you those big
back breaking sessions"
One of the most painstak-
ing "housekeepers" is Roland
Markuson, master of proper
ties with the revival of Oscar
Wilde's Lady Windermere's
Fan" He has to keep the
sets as immaculate as the
elegant characters of the
nineties who deliver the Wilde
bon mots. Cecil Beaton, who
staged the play. selected the
furniture with great care.
Each piece is an antique and
exactly in key. Markuson uses
cream wax on the furniture
once a week, and just before
the curtain rises every piece
is busted with a clean cheese
cloth.
From his experience with
the elaborate Windermere
sets, Markuson says his ad-
vice to spring housecleaners
is: Don't try to rejuvenate
all your floors in one day.
Tackle them room by room.
And pick out a day when
you're feeling fit cleaning
and waxing are no jobs for a
softie, though modern aids
make them a cinch compared
to our grandmother's chores"
