Yes on a homey, cared-for look. But

.(Hr. same with ruga and carpets. They will always
■ BImT repay us for the care we give them, and it is so rnay
■(; ; to do this with modern cleaning equipment and

Ca4>* 11 * *°‘ P*«*er»by. No more beating ef carpets and
rugs in the back yard during those annual upheavals
called spring cleaning — now tong gout, and good riddance.
But even today, taking care of a Some is no light undertaking. It Is
a full-time job. ft takeftimo and demands intelligence and skill of a high
order. But it does'lidt demand drudgery, if yow have modern equipment
and follow modern [methooe.
Lugs and carpets should be Cleaned regularly. Your carpet sweeper
wifi quickly remove Surface) litter when doing the morning work, ami
the regular use of your vacuum cleaner will keep the dirt from settling
into the pile of your rugs. It gets the dirt while it is still on the surfaev
of the rug. In using your vacuum cleaner, be sure tlie nozafe is adjusted
to tiia lug: then it will not be necessary to go over the rug more thwi-
twice to remove threads, dog hairs and other litter. When In time carpets
and rugs gather a soil that eaa not bo removed by sweeper or vacuum
cleaner, they should be sept to a good rug cleaner to be washed.
Floors which are waxed regularly will remain In geod condition Worn
spots can be renewed with a new coat of wax. Bull well erith the ereetric
polisher or a weighted brush. Non-rubbing waxes, of course, need no
bulling.
Linoleum Aoors are kept looking well by protecting, the surface.
Here a non-rubbing wax is excellent and ca-y to apply. Put the wax on
*the floor when it is clean nnd dry. and it will prevent dirt and grit from
grinding down into the linoleum. >•
Daily dusting goes far in the care of your furniture. Paper dusters
are very convenient as they may be discarded after they are used. When
using the vacuum cleaner, it r* a simple matter to get out tho upholstery
tool and dust the upholstery of the furniture. Now and then, as they need
it, table and other wood surfaces should be polished. First be sure the
surface is clean, then apply the polish very sparingly and evenly; let it
dry and polish to a soft gloss. When it conies to white spots er rings on
furniture, prevention is easy but cure is difficult. Always use coasters
under glasses on bare tables and wipe up drops of water or other bever-
ages at once. Protect the dining room table from hot-dish marks by
placing an asbestos mat Under the linen directly beneath hot dishes.
Stains on the upholstery of furniture should bo removed at once.
For grease or oil stains use a cloth moistened with s little non-inflam-
mable cleaning fluid; for sugary stains, one moistened slightly with luke-
warm water; and woik with light, straight strokes to prevent a ring.
When the upholstery gathers a general soil, it should be seat to a good
cleaner. Washable materials ean be shampooed with soap or one aI the
sonplcss-lather typo of cleaners. ■ , ,
We ail lovo the gleam of brass or copper, pewter or silver, but no
one wishes to spend hours in polishing them. To clean, use a tine silver
polish or a metal polish definitely intended for brass or copper. Newly
polished candlesticks, vases and other ornaments may be evenly covered
with a thin coat of colorless lacouer to keep them from tarnishing. Go
over the piece with denatured alcohol before applying tho lacquer. Or
you msy use a preparation which gives a protective coating on silver.
