376.
Carpet-Beating.
Beat
a
carpet
on
the
wrong
side
first;
and
then
more
gently
on
the
right
side.
Beware
of
using
sticks
with
sharp
points,
which
may
tear
the
carpet.
377.
Sweeping
Carpets.
Persons
who
are
accustomed
to
use
tea-leaves
for
sweeping
their
carpets,
and
find
that
they
leave
stains,
will
do
well
to
employ
fresh
cut
grass
instead.
It
is
better
than
tea-leaves
for
preventing
dust,
and
gives
the
carpets
a
very
bright,
fresh
look.
378.
Making
a
Carpet
Last
Longer.
A
half-worn
carpet
may
be
made
to
last
longer
by
ripping
it
apart,
and
transposing
the
breadths.
379.
Sweeping
a
Stair-Carpet.
A
stair
carpet
should
never
be
swept
down
with
a
long
broom,
but
always
with
a
short-handled
brush,
a
dust-pan
being
held
closely
under
each
step
of
the
stairs
during
the
operation
of
sweeping.
380.
Cleaning
Oilcloth.
Oilcloth
should
never
be
scrubbed
with
a
brush,
but,
after
being
first
swept,
it
should
be
cleansed
by
washing
with
a
large
soft
cloth
and
lukewarm
or
cold
water.
On
no
account
use
soap
or
hot
water,
as
either
will
injure
the
paint,
and
in
time
remove
it.
381.
Cleaning
Straw
Matting.
Straw
matting
may
be
cleaned
with
a
large
coarse
cloth
dipped
in
salt
and
water,
and
then
wiped
dry.
The
salt
prevents
the
matting
from
turning
yellow.
