Rub Furniture

to Beautiful Finish;

Polish Can Cover Minor Scars

+ By JEAN TABBERT ITS THE FINISH that is the agent in furniture. to remember, the recipe for ‘lustrous furniture is easy. It’s simple: ~ Clean surface, plus polish, then rub, rub, rub. With housecleaning days rolling around, it's a good idea to learn the various characteristics of furniture polishes as well as ways to keep the furniture itself looking up to “snuff.” Most minor repairs — blems{shes and scars—may be made by the homemaker. Wood furniture surfaces damaged by white water marks, alcohol stains, heat marks, scratches and occasional burns should be treated as promptly as possible. White water marks should be removed from a waxed surface by first removing the old wax. (Do this by applying a bottled liquid wax freely and wiping while still wet.) Then apply a fresh coat of the wax. For other finishes, wring a cloth out of water to which a few drops of ammonia have been added. Rub the spot lightly. Alcohol stains from perfumes, beverages or medicine should be wiped up immediately with an oiled cloth. If the stains have been neglected, apply a mixture of rottenstone or powdered pumice and bottled lemon

Surface Scratches Rub on with a circular motion, wiping up immediately with a cloth moistened with lemon oil. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth and polish, For heat marks on the varnish or shellac finishes, call on the camphor bottle from your medicine chest. “Rub on with a damp cloth, When it has dried thoroughly, polish with bottled furniture polish. , A

For deep scratches, use a touchup wood stain available in small bottles with a fine brush attached to the cap. When it is dry, polish in the usual way.

Furniture polish also will re-

polish. Buy Polish to Match Furniture Finish A bottle of carbon tetrachloride is your best friend for spots and stains on upholstered furniture. This has "little or no effect on the fibers or the color of the fabric. However, it's always best to test the up~ holstery ‘in an inconspicuous spot before proceeding. : Clean: fluids with a tetrachloride base are particularly effective for grease or oil spots, Moisten a clean, soft cloth to sponge the spot.

Lighter Iron Brightens

‘Cord Minder’ Solves Wrinkling Problem Did you know the average homemaker lifts the equivalent of an elephant every ironing day? That's the conclusion of a manufacturer after a survey of old fashioned ironing m used for a family of four. As a result, an iron along with an entirely new ironing technique has been developed by the sur-vey-making manufacturer. The fron doesn’t need to be lifted; it glides over the board and tilts up out of the way by the mere touching of a button. With an iron that doesn’t need to be lifted, the homemaker may sit at any kind of ironing board, just like the owner of an expensive ironing machine. The cord of the iron is attached at the side, out of the way. Weighing three and a half pounds, the iron is extremely light and is highly efficient because of the even distribution of heat over the entire sole plate. It has thermostatic control, which gets the, iron very hot but not too hot. Ice Box ‘Treatment’ Simplifies Ironing The iron has a single foot with a heatless bar which keeps the sole tilted away from the fabric unless in action. The company also sells a “cord minder” that extends the cord so that the ironing task can be moved near a window on a summer day. The cord minder also keeps the cord out of the way so it can’t rumple clothes or twist or kink itself. The “minder” is a flexible steel support with its own built-in extension cord. i The company has found that sprinkling the clothes, then folding them will minimize wrinkles, thus making the ironing easier. Place dampened clothes in the ice box in an airtight plastic bag,

Last fall, the fashion edifor of one of the country’s largest syndicates worked her way into Tina's showroom, bringing with her a casual coat, a slim suit, a woolen dress and a taffeta evening dress. They were typical of what might have been found in thousands of wardrobes early last September . . . short, broad-shoul-dered, narrow-hipped — but still good material. Tina was asked if she would bring them up to date in a way that the home dressmaker could imitate. And although she was engulfed in a fashion show and the pressure of bringing out her own fall line, Tina sympathetically whipped these duds into new contours,
