Washable Furniture
It is no longer a matter of the "scrubbed" kitchen table. We can wash the loveliest drawing-room piece with the certainty that no damage is being done. The new lacquers not only don’t mark but require only the wiping over of a damp rag to be like new. Some of them-the new ones for dining tables and sideboards, for instance-are also heat-resisting, which removes all that bother about hot dishes. Oak furniture is being made with white tops that can be washed without looking lik« restaurant tables. Aluminium, coloured, is also included in washable furniture. And these lacquers, you will find, are indispensable for bedroom and nursery, as well, of course, as kitchen. Apparently much of the horror of spring cleaning is at last to be removed for us.
