11 Old English Housekeeping Habits That Make a Cheap Home Look Expensive

A well-run house has a look you can feel the moment you step inside, and in all my years in service I never once saw it come from a credit card. It came from small things done at the right time, by people who knew which ones mattered. Most of those things cost less than your morning coffee. Some cost nothing at all. In this video I’m passing along eleven of the habits I learned in big houses in England and kept up through my years with families across America. One involves a bottle you almost certainly have in the fridge. Another is a product sitting under a great many American sinks that I would never have allowed in a house I ran.

Pour yourself a cup of something, pull up a chair, and let me show you what the good houses knew.
