Ingredients
- a teaspoonful of salt to nearly a gill of milk is the right proportion
- a gill of milk is the right proportion
- 4 strong cement
Directions
Combs soon warp and break if constantly washed. A good stiff nail brush cleans them well.
Ink-stains on garments can be soaked out in a mixture of salt and milk. A teaspoonful of salt to nearly a gill of milk is the right proportion. This answers for either white or coloured fabrics, but, if the ink has been allowed to dry, it will be necessary to soak the stained part in the milk for an hour or two.
Tiles may be wiped over with a paraffin cloth instead of washing with soap and water.
Paraffin well rubbed in will remove obstinate stains from lino- leum without injuring the material.
To remove varnish , rub the surface clean with sandpaper and then with a rag dipped in spirits of ammonia.
Scatter equal parts borax and castor sugar mixed about haunts of cockroaches; will disperse them like nothing else.
.4 Strong Cement. — Melt some common alum in an iron spoon over coal fire. This will mend glass, china, metal, and breakages of all kinds, and articles so mended may be washed without fear.
To Pemove Ink on the Carpet, etc. — Throw a quantity of salt on it, which will quickly absorb the ink. Take this up and put on more salt. Keep repeating, rubbing salt well into the ink spot, until ink is all taken up by the salt. Then brush the salt out of the carpet. Or, take up as much of the ink as possible with spoon or blotting paper. Pour cold sweet milk upon the spot, and take up with a spoon until the milk is only faintly tinged with ink, then wash with cold water and wipe dry.
To Ttemove Ink Stains from Linen. — Cut lemon, squeeze its juice at once upon place stained. Then rub with yellow soap and rinse in cold water. Effect almost magical, but must be done at once. If stain has been in linen or cotton some time, salts of lemon will erase stain. Wet part, stretch over bowl, rub salts over briskly, and rinse quickly. Another way : — When ink is spilled on linen, try dipping in pure melted tallow. The hot tallow seems to absorb the ini, and after washing stain will be found to have disappeared.
Pipe tomatoes will remove ink and other stains from white cloth; also from the hands.
