Try GOOP for wallpaper grease stains R:5 T5 As an alternative, I had mentioned two other cleaners that see more wide- ly available in hardware, auto building supply stores. I have since found GOOP in two different stores - an IGA Supermarket and an Ace Hardware store. The manu- facturer is Critzas Industries. 4041 Park Ave., St. Louis, Mo. 63ll0; tele- phone 3l4-773-8510. The manufacture er tells me that Western Auto and Walmart stores, among others. also carry it. lf you cannot find it locally. call Critzas Industries for the name of the nearest dealer. My research also indicates that GOO? has a different and gentler for- mula than its competitors as it is an emulsifier and doesn't contain abra- sives. Although primarily marketed as a hand cleaner, it has wider applica- tions listed on its label and others that are not, such as cleaning birds of oil after an oil spill near Vancouver Island and to clean oil and grease contaminat- By HENRI DE MARNE Special to the Beaver In recent columns, I have mentioned GOOP as a cleaner to remove grease spots from wallpaper (a tip given me by a reader some time ago), but I wasn't able at the time to name the manufacturer or where to buy it as I was unable to find it in several area stores.

Removing grease spots from wallpa- per and carpeting are not listed uses as I am told that it may remove the prints from some types of wallhangings or the color from some carpeting, but a number of people have successfully used it for those purposes. The safest course is to try it on an inconspicuous place first. GOOP is claimed to be safe to use on any fabric that is washable and col- orfast and on some leather. What should I use to remove the mold and what can I apply to the sur- faces to keep it from coming back? I plan on putting a couple more coats of varnish on these walls and ceiling.

Q. About 10 years ago, we installed a very efficient fireplace insert in our chimney; the damper was removed to make this possible. Three or four years ago, we had the chimney capped to try to sole an ever increasing odor problem that manifests itself on warm winter days and on rainy or humid days the rest of the year. This was not successful. We burn a cord of dry wood a year and always bring the temperature to the recommended high level to mini- mize creosote formation. Despite the fact that our chimney sweep says the chimney does not need to be cleaned every year we continue to have it done in the hope of getting rid of the smell. - Middlebury, Vt. A. Burning any kind of wood will generate some creosote that coats the walls of the chimney. The difference in the deposits lies in the burning tech- nique (and you are obviously doing well on that score since your sweep tells you the chimney does not need annual cleaning). the type of chimney and its location. You are, nevertheless, wise to have it done every year. The smell is caused by downdrafts created by negative pressure in the house when warm air is exfiltrating through upper cracks and crevices such as may be found around leaky win- ', white cabinetry area with w/o to room Open brick Mississauga Real Estate Board 1,500+ Members and their Buyers I I iii" 'l, Ft', Cl ”-1“ «L, T L, b 'i., OAKVlLLE/MISSISSAUGA BORDER llllllllllillllllll Upgraded 4 bedroom with gorgeous master ensuite, main floor family room, huge greenhouse kitchen with dinette and skylights.
