Iron
Wipers.
Old
soft
towels,
or
pieces
of
old
sheets
or
tablecloths,
make
excellent
wipers
for
iron
and
steel
goods.

To
Clean
Looking-Glasses.
First
wash
the
glass
all
over
with
lukewarm
soapsuds
and
a
sponge.
When
dry,
rub
it
bright
with
a
chamois
leather
on
which
a
little
prepared
chalk,
finely
powdered,
has
been
sprinkled.

To
Clean
Mirrors,
&c.
If
they
should
be
hung
so
high
that
they
cannot
be
conveniently
reached,
have
a
pair
of
steps
to
stand
upon;
but
mind
that
they
stand
steady.
Then
take
a
piece
of
soft
sponge,
well
washed,
and
cleaned
from
everything
gritty,
dip
it
into
water
and
squeeze
it
almost
dry,
dip
it
into
some
spirit
of
wine,
and
then
rub
it
over
the
glass.
Next,
dust
the
glass
over
with
some
powder
blue
or
whiting
sifted
through
muslin;
wipe
the
powder
lightly
and
quickly
off
again
with
a
cloth;
then
take
a
clean
cloth,
and
rub
the
glass
well
once
more,
and
finish
by
rubbing
it
with
a
silk
handkerchief.
If
the
glass
be
very
large,
clean
one-half
at
a
time,
as
otherwise
the
spirit
of
wine
will
dry
before
it
can
be
rubbed
off.
If
the
frames
are
not
varnished,
the
greatest
care
is
necessary
to
keep
them
quite
dry,
so
as
not
to
touch
them
with
the
sponge,
as
this
will
discolour
or
take
off
the
gilding.
To
clean
the
frames,
take
a
little
raw
cotton
in
the
state
of
wool,
and
rub
the
frames
with
it;
this
will
take
off
all
the
dust
and
dirt
without
injuring
the
gilding.
If
the
frames
are
well
varnished,
rub
them
with
spirit
of
wine,
which
will
take
out
all
spots,
and
give
them
a
fine
polish.
Varnished
doors
may
be
done
in
the
same
manner.
Never
use
any
cloth
to
frames
or
drawings,
or
oil
paintings,
when
cleaning
and
dusting
them.
