Household Hints for Cleaning and Laundry
Water stains on furniture can be ironed out with a white blotter and medium heat. Do not use scouring powder or steel wool on fine china as it may scratch glaze. Clean bottles with sour milk by baking soda and hot water, shake, then rinse in cold water. Vinegar in the second rinse freshens dark cottons, followed by a final rinse with clear water. Coat cork coasters with colorless nail polish to seal soaking.
