ProMea: Minor scratches in wood furniture. Solution: First remove wax from blemished area. This can be done by taking a cotton swab dipped in naptha and gently rubbing the area. Next, use a brown crayon to color in the scratch. Use your fingers to rub in the crayon, then wax. Shoe polish can also be us^d for touch-ups. Brown polish is great for a walnut finish, cordovan for mahogany, black, for lacquer black and tan for lighter shade . Protein: A fresh spill on upholstery or carpel. Solutioq: Shaving cream is a terrific spot remover and almost every household lias some. Saturate the spill, rub in gently then rinse with water or club soda. Problem: Cleaning leather furniture. Solution: Leather must be cleaned with "pure soap" (no detergents) and then occasionally conditioned. For regular care, wipe with a damp sponge and dry with a soft clean cloth For heavier soiled areas use saddle soap or Ivory Snow, rinse and dry thoroughly. Castor oil or petroleum jelly applied sparingly once or twice a year will keep your leather soft and supple for years. Avoid placing leather near radiators or direct sunlight. Probfc*: Piano keys that have turned yellow. Solution: To whiten ivory or plastic piano keys apply a small amount of tooth paste to a damp cloth, rinse and buff. Or saturate a flannel cloth with lemon juice and clean. Do not cover the keyboard if your piano kevsare made of ivory, as continual darkness causes ivory to yellow. * Problem: Finger prints on nouwashable wallcovering, such as grassclolh or linen. Solution: For npnwashable wallcoverings, try removing finger prints %nd other marks with a soft gum eraser. Gently rub the eraser in the direction of the grass or threads. There is also a dough-like cleaner available at your local hardware store that is used in the same way as the eraser method. The dirt is rolled up into the cleaning substance. Problem: Tea stains on marble. Solution: To remove tea or other acid stains first clean the marble surface with warm water. Then apply peroxide with a small amount of ammonia added. Let stand until the mark disappears. Rinse throoughly and dry. Another solution is to sprinkle salt on a fresh-cut lemon. Rub very gently over stain, let soak, then wash with mild soap and water. Or try making a paste of baking soda and water. Apply to stain and let stand before rinsing. Problem: Burn mark on carpel. Solution: Trim a few good fibers from a clean area of the carpet. Brush ihe damaged area to remove burned residue. Apply glue to burn then fiber clippings. Cover with a clean cloth and place a heavy book on top until dry. Brush gently to blend in with carpet. Problem: Chewing gum on fabric or carpel. Solution: Press ice cubes against the gum until it becomes brittle, and you can break off as much as possible. Sponge leftover gum out with dry cleaning solvent or spot remover. Problem: A drooping cane chair seat. Solution: To tighten a saggy cane chair seat, first give it a hot water bath and then place the chair in the sun to dry. As it dries, the caning will shrink. When it is completely dry, apply cedar or lemon oil to prevent cracking. Problem: Candle wax on fabric or carpet. Solution: Scrape off wax chunks then vacuum the area. Place a paper towel on top of the wax and apply a hot iron over the towel. The wax will be absorbed into the paper towel. Repeat if necessary. Be careful not to lei the iron touch the exposed carpel or fabric. Problem: White water rings caused from a glass placed on wooden furniture. Solution: Take a damp cloth with tooth paste and rub it into the spot. If you have a question for Your Home Dei-orator, send it along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Moll? Milligan. P.O.
