CARELESS USE SOON SPOILS APPEARANCE Of WOODWORK Do no Use Much Water or Soap on I Wd-Treatment that Oiled, I Painted, Waxed, and Varnished Floors Should Receive-When Polish is Used, Rub-Dry. t Wood forms a large percentage of I the surfaces that must be cared for in a home. The following suggestions 1 made by household specialists of the United States Department of Agricul ture are to help the housekeeper to 1 preserve and' keep in igo6d condition I the wood, both in the interior of the house itself and in the furniture. Unfinished wood surfaces absorbs grease and dirt more readily, are more likely to stain, and are harder to keep clean than those in which the pores of the wood are filled with var nish, oil, paint, or other finish. In general a house should contain as few unfinished wood surfaces as possible. In the kitchen, for example, labor may be saved by finishing or covering the floor, by covering the table with'oil cloth, linoleum, or zinc, and by paint ing or vernishing the rest of the fur niture. Scrubbing Unfinished Surfaces. Unfinished wood surfaces may be scrubbed with the grain of the wood, using small quanties of water and a mild soap, rinsed with a cloth wrung out of clear water, and wiped dry. Strong soaps, alkalis, and too much water darken wood and may soften it. If the dirt can not be removed with soap and water, a scourer, such as fine steel wool or powderpd pumic, may be used. Unfinished wood can be bleached with oxalic-acid solution, which is poisonous. The wood should be covered thinly with the solution, allowed to dry, and then thoroughly washed until all traces of the acid are removed. If grease is spilled on unfinished wood, cold water should be applied at once, if possible, in order to harden the grease and prevent its spreading, then as much grease as possible should be scraped off with a knife ,and the spot scrubbed with a washing soda or lye solution. If the spot appears (lark, a paste made of fuller's earth and water should be spread over it and al lowed to remain over night. Ib is advisable to sweep oiled floors with a soft brush and dust them with a dry or oiled mop. Occasionally they may be washed and afterwards wiped an oily cloth. Water should be used sparingly, and care taken the oil in well and not to use so much that a surplus is left on the surface to hold dust and be tracked onto rugs. Varnish and shellacked surfaces I should ordinarily be dusted clean with i a soft brush or cloth and polished with i an oiled mop or soft cloth moistened with a few drops of light lubricating oil, lemon oil, or furniture polish. Rub in wel Ithe oil or polish and remove any surplus with a soft cloth. In gen eral, varnished and shellacked sur faces should not 'be touched with wat er; however, if badly soiled they may I be wviped with a cloth - rung of wvarm, slightly soapy water, wiped dry at I once, and thena polished with oil. The app~earance of badly worn, varnished wvoodwork may be improvedl by rub bing it with a good grade of floor wax. Waxed surfaces may be cleaned with a soft, dry duster, or, in the case of floors, a soft brush or a mop- free from oil. The film of dirt and wax which dlai-kens the surface may be re moved witih a cloth wrung out of warm soapy water, or, better, with one mois tenedl with turpentine or gasoline; the latter method brightens as well as cleans the surface, whereas water dull sand whitens wax. Both turpen tine and gasoline are highly inflam nmable and should never be usedl in a roo wheer there is a fire or a light edl lamp or candle.
