Salt for Cleaning
Common salt is a good, safe cleaner, and a plentiful supply should bo at hand during spring cleaning. White wicker chairs, linon-baskets, trays • and .so on, should bo scrubbed with warm salt-water, well rinsed and dried out of doors. Bush mats and the cane seating of wooden chairs should be treated in the same way. Warm dry salt, is good for cleaning light-coloured overcoats, waterproofs, canvas bags, covers and chair-seats. It is excellent for removing soot marks from rugs and carpets. Stone steps that have become green or discoloured should be well sprinkled with salt when they are wet, or mopped over with a strong solution of salt. This treatment soon restores them to good condition.
