Mixed Good and | for people on the go I S THE HOME HELPER f All of our Home Helper hints this month have to do with cleaning We didn’t plan it, but its something we all start thinking about at this time of year * Want to get wax spots off a rug 9 Cover them with an absorbent paper towel, then press with a warm iron. The wax melts and the towel ab sorbs it Repeat if necessary, but make sure the iron doesn’t get too hot. * If you have hard water in your area, calcium deposits can make sink and tub fittings look unsightly, but scratching off that hard white film can mar the chrome. Hot vinegar dissolves these deposits easily Let the liquid stay on the chrome until gas bubbles stop rising, then rinse * This season you’ve prob ably wanted to try one of those “steam” rug cleaning machines being demonstrated St. Louis Choice 2-3 700-950 lbs. 34.00 36.25.

While you’re at it, why not clean the upholstery too 9 Many of the places that carry the machine also have an attachment for upholstery cleaning The non-foaming detergent for carpets is also the gentlest, most effective you can use on furniture * Speaking of furniture, an old trick for getting rid of water stains on leather uphol stery when someone leaves a glass on the arm of your leather armchair, for example is to apply a mixture of olive oil and sugar Leave it on the stain for a few min utes, then wipe it off * Scouring pads, like everything else, have gone way up in price lately You can buy steel wool m bulk at the hard ware store, tear off the size piece you need and use it with regular dishwashing detergent It’s a lot cheaper, and you can buy different grades coarse for the really tough jobs, fine for polishing.
