Show HOUlEiip Commercial rug shampoos are available for washing rugs at home, but ordinary mild soap can be used. Mix up a pail of lukewarm luke-warm water with rich, mild suds. Soak a cloth in the suds, wring it out partially and scrub a small area of the rug with it. Dip another an-other rough cloth in a pail of lukewarm luke-warm clear water, to which a little powdered alum has been added, add-ed, and wipe off the suds with that. ' Oil spots on concrete can often be removed with cleaning fluid. If the spots are old, though, mix up a paste of cleaning fluid and fuller's earth. Spread the paste on the spots and wait until it's completely dry before sweeping it off with a broom. |
