Saving Polished Tables
Dear Aunt Daisy, Here is an idea for protecting a polished table-top, which we think is better than bothering about cork matsespecially if the table is used like ours, for bathing a five-months old baby on, and also for ironing on. My husband got a piece of insulating board and cut it the shape of the table-oval. I put an old piece of blanket on the table first, so that the board doesn’t scratch the table-top. You know, even with cork mats, if anything is spilt on the table, it really soaks through to the table-top. Not so when the insulating sheet is used. It is very light, and when not needed, we just
take it off and put away.-
