Metal Polish for Fir Gum
Dear Aunt Daisy, I read in The Listener about metal polish for cleaning silk, wool, etc. Well, I got a quantity of gum on my navy wool skirt, off a freshly cut fir tree, and so I tried the metal polish, as directed. It has made a splendid job, and taken all. the gum off. I advise anyone to try it. Do you know if I can buy any good bottled mint or dried mint? I bought one brand of dried mint, but it tastes rather much of peppermint, Thanking you. -Kaiapoi. I think the best way is to dry mint yourself, I find it so, Just get a good bunch of fresh mint, and hang it to dry in the sun and air, or even in the kitchen pantry. When dry and crisp, crumble it into glass jam-jars, and screw the lid down. It will keep beautifully. It will take some weeks to dry. Do plenty, and keep it for the winter.
