TO CLEAN PICTURES
Framed pictures always need an overhaul after the winter months. The .. best way to clean glass-covered pictures is to first dust them thoroughly and then clean the glass with methylated spirits applied sparingly by means of a large, soft cloth. Gol i frames should be brushed with a soft brush to get rid of any dust. To restore something of the original lustre to the frame, rub gently with a soil cloth moistened with vinegar and water, or with water to which lemon juice has been added. Liquid gold, sparingly applied to the places 1 roni which the original gold is gone, is a great help in restoring picture frames. The success of the treatment lies in the least possible gold being used. Oil paintings can be wiped carefully with a succession of very soft cloths moistened with clean warm water. Use no soap, turpentine or methylated spirits, and .take time Avith the work.
