Another Stained Bath
Dear Aunt Daisy, Would you please print for me how to clean a stained bath. Thanking you.--Listener, Rakaia. You must be very careful not to use _ anything acid, for that will damage the glaze on the enamel; and once the glaze is gone, it cannot be restored and the enamel will be rough and will show every mark. Try making a paste of kerosene and whiting or kerosene and soap-powder, and leave a thick layer on the strain for as many hours as you can spare the bath." Then rub it off and clean over with kerosene again, finally rinsing with soapy water. Repeat the whole method again next day, and again if necessary: Sometimes a badly stained enamelled sink or bath will become beautifully clean and white by leaving standing in it about an inch of water containing chloride of lime -not too strong, about half an ounce to a quart of water. Leave it standing all night, and wash down in the morning. Or use pure chlorogene, in this way. It can be bought at most stores now, 1 think,
