LAWS ABOUT LINOLEUM
When laying new linoleum, do not throw away left-over scraps, but save them, as they serve many useful purposes. A piece laid on the kitchen table during cookery operations will , save many an ugly stain, for grease or spilt liquids can be removed easier from linoleum than from wood. (That is presuming that the kitchen table is not topped with marble, enamel, or terrazzo.) A strip should be kept for the shelf which holds saucepans and lids. A rub over with a wet cloth every few days will keep it clean. Another strip will come in handy for underneath the vegetable basket on a cement floor, as it prevents the dampness which gathers on concrete from affecting the vegetables. A piece used on a polished table underneath the hand sewing machine will prevent scratches on the polished surface. If your laundry has a cement floor, use a piece of linoleum to stand on on washing days. Using an oilcan for locks and window catches is often wasteful. A little brush will suffice when the point to be reached is visible.
