STAINS ON TABLES
White.marks on polished tables caused by heat from dishes can be removed fairly easily, provided they are not too extensive and have *iot penetrated belov the surface, by the following method:
Pour one or two drops of methylated spirit on to a small oiece of cotton-wool, squeezing well to work the spirit into the wool. Then cover the wool with a piece of folded muslin thus making a pad, and rub well, working round and round the mark. This treatment will spread the stain and polish from the undamaged portion and thus the whole surface surrounding the mark will be coloured evenly. A few seconds’ hard rubbing will remove the mark in practically every case, and the surface then only requires to be polished. If must be emphasised, however, that on no account should the ■spirit be poured directly on tr the wood, for this would immediately remove the French polish oi varnish, as the case may be.
