How 10 Clean Waxed FIoOrs-A hard
wood floor. which has been finished
after the French manner, with wax
only, is easily cleaned and refinished
In this country such floors, instead of
being polished with a brush every
morning, is done in good houses in
France, are left to themselves for
weeks or months. The consequence is
that the surface of the wax grows dim
and sticky, and dust clings to It. ac-
cumulating until il forms blackish
streaks or spots, especially under rugs
orr near windows or in other places
exposed to dust. Washing with water
or ammonia will not remove these
spots. and will injure the floor, raising
and roughening the grain. Instead of
this they should be rubbed with fine
sandpaper, No. or No. o, dipped in
turpentine. The turpentine will soften
the wax without inJuring the floor. and
the sandpaper will remove the dust
If the floor is too thickly coated with
wax. the sandpaper clogs quickly, and
steel wool, dipped in turpentine, is
more convenient. When the floor has
been sufficiently cleaned, fresh dress
ing of wax may be put on and rubbed
in the usual manner. This process can
be repeated indefinitely until the floor
is worn through.
