Show i FIRST AID to the AILING HOUSE ( j by Roger C. Whitman QUESTION: Is there anything I could put on my aluminum outdoor out-door clothes line so that black smudges can be kept off the clothes? Even after thorough wip. ing it is possible to rub "black" off the line. ANSWER: After thorough ' cleaning, rinsing and drying, giv , the line a coat of good spar var-nish. var-nish. To get an even coat, saturate a piece of cheesecloth with the varnish and wipe it on the wire. Since there will be a great deal of friction, the varnish gradually will wear off, and the treatment must be repeated. Instead of all this fussing, why not use a good cord clothesline, to be taken down and put away when not in use? |
