Finger Marks Upon Doors—To Remove
Dissolve sal-soda, 1 oz.; in soft water, 1 pt., and go over the soiled doors or other painted wood-work with it, using a sponge or cloth, following with a wiping cloth, slightly wrung out of hot, clean water.
Erasive Compound, or, Soap for Cleaning Clothes. —Sal-soda, 1/4 lb-; oastile soap, 2 ozs.; starch 1 oz.; borax, 1/2 oz.; soft water, 1 qt. Direc-tion. —Boil the soap in the water till dissolved, then add the other ingredients, all pulverized, and stir till all is dissolved, and pour into a square pan or box, to cool, when it can be cut into bars, of suitable pieces to wrap up for sale, if that is the purpose. Used for removing grease spots, paint, tar, etc., apply with a wet sponge by rubbing on the soap first, then on the spot till clean.
Remarks. —The friend who sent me this for insertion in my "Third and Last Receipt Book, " says: "It is equal to the "Lightning Eradicators, " which are generally sold for 25 cents a cake, and as you will know, is much cheaper. "
These cakes of soap sold on the street corners for 25 cents, are only about 1 or 11/4 inches long by 3/4 wide and 1/2 inch thick. The same friend also sent me the following ink, and the remarks connected with it are his also, but they -can be depended upon, except the one I have modified, as to its not being equal to the best writing fluids.
