TO TAKE SPOTS OF GREASE OR OIL OUT OF BOARDS.

Drop a few drops of oil of turpentine on the spots and rub it hard

with your finger; this will dissolve the grease, and make it mix with

the soap (or suds) and water when the room is washed.

_Another Way._

Mix together fuller’s-earth and soap lees, and rub them on the

boards. Let the mixture dry, and then scour it off with strong soft

soap and sand, or use lees to scour it with. It should be put on hot,

by heating the lees.
