A ladder or step ladder will do that job in helping you reach high-out of the way areas, but remember to securely place the ladder and do not dangerously extend your reach. Inside the home or cottage requires equal safety sense. Stairways are a very common accident site. Do not clutter a stairway with extension cords or cleaning equipment - a clean work area is a safe one. ° Dispose of all paints, cleaning fluids and household chemicals you no longer require. Leaving them around the home could pose a danger to your children or pets. Consult your fire department about the safest way to dispose of such household products.
