Got Stains? Here Are Tips
%
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
The time has come when we
have to think of housecleaning.
There are extra things that pile
up and need to be done now and
then.
There is a new wax on the
market especially made for
woodwork and other surfaces. It
is fine for cleaning and fine for
cleaning enameled cupboards,
protection after use.
I like to use a cream wax to
clean my furniture every few
months and go over all the fur
niture in the house with it, buff
ing to a shine after the cleaning
is done. The protection is worth
while in itself.
You'll find that Venetian blinds
usually need extra cleaning a
couple of times a year. Unhook
them from the valance part and
lay them flat on a table. I use
a little powdered cleaner in wa
ter to clean mine and finish them
with a coat of cream or paste
wax for further protection.
Don’t forget that the pictures
in your home need to be given a
good cleaning and polish every
so often. While they’re down,
use a vacuum cleaner where they
hung.
1 like lo use cream wax to
clean the frames and a good
window cleaner on the glass
that covers the pictures.
. I like to clean and rearrange
the cabinets twice a year, too.
And, when I do that, I give the
shelves that are triple enameled
a good coating of wax to make
them easier to clean. Constant
use of cabinets soon teaches one
the handiest places to keep
things and it’s a good idea to
keep learning as you go along.
Sometimes the way that seemed
best at the start is not best after
all.
The crevice tool on your vac
uum cleaner or the dusting brush
are both fine for getting dust or
any other accumulations from the
bureau drawers that you are re
arranging. Don’t forget to use the

Dear Blanche:
Recently I put in a very dis
gruntled half - hour searching
through my files for a hint to re
move candle wax stain from my
test tablecloth. After locating it
along with some other excellent
hints, the idea came to me that
perhaps someone else might like
10 paste these on the inside of
some often used cook book for
future use.
CANDLE WAX STAINS
Let the wax harden, then
scrape with a knife as much as
possible. Place a blotter on both
sides and press with a hot iron.
Move the blotter as it absorbs
the wax. When the blotter is
clean, sponge the spot with tetra
chloride. Should the color stain
remain, pat gently with diluted
denatured alcohol, one part to
two parts of water.
LilJro J. lv^Jv &1AI1NO
On washable materials, soften
with vaseline or glycerine, then
wash. When unwashable, soften
with vaseline, then sponge with
carbon tetrachloride. Sponge
with denatured alcohol (diluted)
should any trace of color remain.
EGG STAINS
When on silk the spots may be
removed by rubbing lightly with
common salt.
MUDSTAINS
Rub the spots with raw potato.
BLOOD STAINS
When fresh, soak washable ma
terial in cold water, then wash in
warm soapy water. Should the
stains be old, add some ammonia
or salt to the water. Soak 15 min
utes in cold water, then wash in
warm suds and rinse. For blan
kets, mattresses or upholstery,
use a starch paste. Apply to the
stains and let dry. Brush, and
repeat if necessary.
INK STAINS
When the spots are on colored
cottons, mix dry mustard and
water to a paste and spread over
the spot. Allow it to remain for
15 minutes, then wash and rinse
thoroughly. The stains will dis
appear without injury to the
fabric.
PERSPIRATION STAINS
Dampen the spot and spread
thickly with.borax. Roll the gar
ment up lightly for 15 minutes,
then rinse in cold w'ater and the
stain will be gone.
MILDEW
Fresh spots may come out in
the regular wash. Soaking ail
night in sour milk is an excellent
method for white linens.
OIL SPOTS
Do not use too hot water if
washable. Soapless shampoos are
excellent for removing fats and
oils.
