Useful Hints For The Home
The cleaning of furs, being highly . skilled work, should not be iightly undertaken at home. If a fur is really dirty or greasy it ■ should be sent to a furrief. TO freshen a fur, bran is the safest thing to use. Lay the fur quite flat upon a table; warm'a quantity of new bran in a pan, taking care that it does not burn, to prevent which it must be actively stirred. When well warmed, but not too hot, rub it gently into the fur with the hand. Leave it for thirty minutes or so; then shake the fur, and brush and comb it carefully. To Destroy Moths in Carpets: Take a damp towel, spread it out upon the carpet and iron it dry with a hot iron. The heat and steam will destroy the worms and eggs.
