RETOUCHING STAINED FLOORS
Never attempt to restain the worn parts of a stained floor until you have first subjected them to a sandpapering treatment to get them thoroughly smooth. This precaution is essential if you want the freshly■tl eate d portions to look uniform with tile rest. When dusting and polishing a wood floor, do not attempt the two operations in one. Get rid of all dust— and dust there is sure to be, even though it is not always perceptible—before you touch the floor surface with polish, lhe rule applies whether you use oil or wax for the polishing process. Cracks in floors can be stopped up with putty. Cracks are pernicious things on two accounts; they cause draughts, and they collect dust, which means that carpets and linoleums wear in lines.
