THINGS TRIED AND PROVED
To Brighten a Rug. To clean a rug and make it look like new, put a little vinegar in lukewarm water. Dip a cloth in the liquid, wring it out and rub the rug well. When Washing Linoleum. When washing linoleum, put a few drops of paraffin in the water. This will make it much cleaner and give it a glossy finish. > To Remove Grease Spots From Floor. If grease is spilled on the floor, throw ice-cold water on it immediately. This will harden the grease, so that it will not soak into the wood. It can then be removed quite easily. To Run Curtains on Brass Rods. When running a curtain on a brass rod after laundering, slip the finger of an old kid 'glove over the end of the rod, which will then pass through the casing without catching and tearing the curtain.
