with cold tea and polishing with linseed oil is an excellent way of cleaning painted wood. For tiled hearths, when there is no fire, turpentine is a splendid cleanser. An old glove thumb over the spout of your tea-pot will save chipping when it is put away. Peg your sheets by the two hems on to the line, putting a peg in the middle as well, and they’ll balloon in the wind and soon be dry. Equal parts of ammonia and turpentine will remove paint stains from your clothes. Rolling your silk stockings in towels, and then stuffing them with tissue paper will soon dry them. Rub your enamel wear with rough salt moistened with vinegar to remove the stains.
