TREATMENT OF LEATHER
LEATHER suites in rooms heated or lighted by fire should be given occasional special treatment. Sponge the leather with a mixture made of one teaspoonful of strong ammonia, four teaspoonfuls of vinegar, and one quart of cold water. Then rub in a very small quantity of castor oil and finish off with a good proprietary furniture cream. But if your leather furniture has become very dull in use, you can restore its original gloss by mixing the white of an egg with a gill of fresh milk (containing the cream). Add sufficient water to make the measure up to one pint, and then apply to the leather with a soft, clean sponge. Allow to dry and then brush the leather with a soft, clean brush. There should be a fire in the room during this treatment.
