Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: I have been using a 1-inch paintbrush for a pastry brush. Recently I discovered a new use for it. I now use one to spread butter on hot corn on the cob. It works great and is much easier for all to use, especially grandchildren. Mary Leonard, Manistique, Mich.

A couple of other handy uses for 1-inch paintbrushes:

Use to clean the coffee grinder.

Great for dusting around knickknacks or pleated lampshades. - Heloise xxxx
