The Homenaker's
Corner
By MARY DOUGLAS

We are continuing from last
weeks column with suggestions
about housekeeping. This time we
have some timely suggestions by
Helen Irene Smith, University of
Maryland Extension home manage
ment specialist, about cleaning rugs
without too much effort, right on
the floor.
One method suggested as easy
and effective is: Sprinkle corn meal
literally on the rug and rub it in
to the surface with a stiff brush.
Then, with a vacuum cleaner, take
up the meal and the dirt will come
up with it. For a more thorough
job, the corn meal may be dampen-
ed with kerosene before it is
sprinkled on the rug. When kero-
sene is used, however, care must be
taken when cleaning near stoves to
prevent fires.
A good light shampoo for rugs
can be made by shaving one-half
bar of good white soap into four
quarts of boiling water, adding one
half cup of salt, one cup of ammonia
and one cup of rubbing alcohol. In
to this solution dip cloth, wiring
thoroughly dry and go over the
rug with a brisk rubbing motion,
Follow with dry cloth.
Lime water will remove stains. A
solution of borax and hot water
will take off chocolate stains. Equal
parts of ammonia and turpentine re-
moves paint; follow it with wash
of warm soap suds.
Any rug that cannot be cleaned
by one or the other of these
methods, says Miss Smith, should
be sent to dry cleaning establish
ment.
Miss Smith also suggests that it
is wise homemaker who keeps
accurate home accounts at all
times, but especially is this true
in this wartime world of rising
costs, shortages, and high taxes.
Planned family spending is advo-
Gated by the specialist to insure
getting all requirements for health
full, happy living now and saving
for future security. The members
of the family should sit down to-
gether and decide what things are
needed most; what amount should
be saved; how much should be set
aside for requirements that can be
made only after the war, or a bet
ter home after the war; and what
should be set aside for education
as the members of the family grow
up. The future welfare of the family
will depend on decisions made now.
