Show 1 . When talcum powder is spilled on a rug, don't try to sweep it up. That spreads it. Hold you vacuum cleaner over it to draw off the loose powder. What's left :an oe removed by rubbing the spot very gently with a damp cloth. Rinse the cloth frequently so the powder that sticks will not go back on the rug. If an overdose of laundry bluing results in a stain, wet the spot with alcohol and launder the article again. Should sterner measures be in order, use oxalic acid, but rinse it out immediately. The table for a buffet supper should be arranged in logical fashion so that guests can pick up food in sequence, the drink last. There's something everybody should know about removing stains from taffeta materials. They will respond readily to cleaning clean-ing fluids ; but poor quality taffeta has a strong tendency to "crack up" after treatment. So proceed with caution and at your own risk. |
