To Clean Lamp Globe Blacked With Smoke

When lamp chimneys have become very black from smoke, the grease in many cases will not yield to water, if a little spirits of wine be added to the water, however, the grease contained in the lampblack will yield with but little trouble. When polishing the chimneys use a soft chamois or tissue paper, since cloth generally leaves lint on the glass.
