First Aid
For the House
By Roger c. Whitmon

Q. am planning to build a new
home soon and have been con-
sidering steel windows. Some Of
my friends have advised me against
them. saying that the windows
would sweat" too much. The house
we own now has wood frame win
dows, and they also sweat in cool
weather. VIII you please give me
your unbiased opinion as to which
would be best: Steel or wood sash?
A. If the air of the house is very
much overcharged with moisture,
either type of sash will sweat, If
not protected by storm sash during
the cold months. Well-fitting metal
weatherstrips also would be advis-
able. Cold outside air should not
be allowed to come In contact with
the inside windows, and care should
be taken to close all cracks and
crevices around the outside window
frames with caulking compound,
forced in with a caulking gun.
Deodorizing Furniture.
@. Can you suggest any method
to deodorize a davenport and chair?
They have acquired an unpleasant
stale odor. The furniture is about
40 years old and recently has been
recovered. I have tried airing it In
the sun twice, tried the vacuum
cleaner and a commercial deodoriz-
ing preparation, but the odor still
remains.
A. A new style, mildew proofing
preparation should do the trick for
you. This product destroys mildew
and also removes odors. Ask for 1t
at drug or chain store, or at a
hardware or paint store. Another
method you could try would be to
sprinkle moth crystals literally on
the furniture and then cover it up
well so that the heavy fumes will
not escape. Do the work in a room
that can be closed for day, for the
smell Is very strong. chemical
name: Paradichlorobenzene.) On
airing the room well and removing
the crystals, the odor of the chemical
as well as the stale odor should
disappear.
