Cleaning Porcelain
Dear Aunt Daisy, How do you clean a porcelain bath that is stained a very bad yellow or brownish colour? I don’t know if it is the water that stains it. I have tried whiting mixed with kerosene and phosphate powder mixed with peroxide, but it was of no use. Invercargill. Perhaps you did not leave the paste on long enough and repeat it every day. A paste made of kerosene and whiting, | or kerosene and a good scap-powder, should be plastered on quite thickly ane left on for hours-until you have to use the bath again. Then put on another | plaster, and go on repeating the treat-| ment, It has been found very lasbes | after perseverance. Peroxide mixed with. pure cream of tartar is also excellent. | But if the bath has been worn to a. rough surface through the use of acids | the stain may have ben absorbed and | will never come out. You could also try | cleaning it with metal polish or with that thick white emulsion so popular for polishing wood and Jinole::mse.
