MARKED WOODWORK
Few things are more unsightly in a well-kept home than white marks on polished woodwork. Sometimes the marks are so bad that the whole article has to be repolished. If only slight damage has been done, it is possible by careful home treatment to repair it. If the white marks have not penetrated below the surface of the polish, try the methylated spirits treatment. Use great care in its use, as too much will remove the polish. Pour one or two drops of the spirit on a little piece of cotton wool, squeeze it well, and work it into the wool. Cover this wool with a piece of folded muslin, making a neat little pad. Rub well into the mark, working round and round to the centre. This treatment will spread the stain and polish from the undamaged portion, and thus the whole surface surrounding the mark will be evenly colored. Do not on any account pour the spirit directly on to the wood, as it will remove the surface varnish.
