SMOKE MARKS
METHODS OF REMOVAL. Vinegar is splendid for removing smoke marks from a large surface. For a small mark a cut lemon may bo rubbed over the mark, then washed off with clean water and thoroughly dried. To use. the vinegar wipe the stains with a cloth damped with vinegar, then wash and dry. Another method is: Make a paste of starch and water. Dip a cloth in and rub the paste over the blackened ceiling. Allow to dry, then brush off lightly. Af.ter the mark has been removed, wash, over the paint with a cloth wrung out of warm, soapy water and sprinkled with a little kerosene. Rinse with warm soapy water to which a little turpentine and milk has been added. Dry well. Your own special method of washing paint may be used after the smoke mark has been got rid of.
