The Sequel
Dear Aunt Daisy, Many thanks for your letter in answer to my plea for help re the milk stains on the cream wallpaper. I made the
paste with magnesia and carbon tetra chloride and plastered it over the marks as you advised. Imagine my delight when next morning on removing the plaster the marks were completely gone! A second application was necessary in some places, as there were pencil-like streaks which I had missed. It took me over an hour to cover the area, I might state. I did these with a very lighthearted feeling and the result is marvellous. Each time I go into the room I glance at the wall and can’t believe it ever looked such a mess. Even my critical eye cannot see where the marks have been Did you know that milk stains can be removed from woollen material by covering the garment with blotting paper and pressing with a warm iron? I had the misfortune to spill some milk down the front of a pew grey costume and tried the above with a perfect result. My grateful thanks once again for your advice. Mary.
