The advantage to having a dry
clean cloth is that it leaves the tile
in a nice glossy condition, much
nicer than if you had gone over the
walls with a scrub brush and soap.
To do the best cleaning on the
bathroom, remove everything NOV
able before cleaning. This will give
you more room in which to do the
best work. Wash the shower cur
tains as well as the regular cur
tains weekly as you do the cleaning.
Select Furnishings
Tastefully
Since the bath is usually a small
room, it's wise to furnish it care
fully so there is little clutter in it.
All the colors should harmonic well
to give a unity of impression.
Get everything that is not part
of the furniture, out of the way COM
pletely so there is an absence of
clutter. You can put creams, jars
and bottles in cabinet or arrange
them attractively on the new glass
shelves that are becoming so popu-
lar.
Shower curtains and Grapes look
best when they are matched. In
fact, now there are even hampers
made to match the shower and cur
tain sets. Chip-resistant Lacquer is
used on the background of the ham,
per and the hand-painted designs
are sealed with coat of plastic
paint. This makes it easy to wipe
smudges with a damp cloth.
Hampers and wastebaskets will
stand up under wear best if they
have heavy steel bases. Since they
are moved around lot, they must
be durable.
The more expensive shower and
curtain sets are really economical
in the long run. The best ones are
made of natural rubber and have
dull finish that looks beautiful and
wears well.
Other sets in plastic materials,
such as opaque vinyl film, are very
attractive and come in an attrac-
tive array of designs and colors.
Be sure to choose shower curtains
long enough so there will be little
water escaping when they're in use.
The standard sizes of six by six feet
are sufficient for most bathrooms.
Good Decorating
Hints Given
For those of you who want to
frost" bathroom windows, there
are two easy ways. One method is
to mix some EPSON salts with a
little varnish and apply to the glass.
Another way is to cover the glass
with a sheet of tissue paper and
apply spar varnish which has been
thinned with "a turpentine. This
mixture will make the paper ad-
here to the window.
If fixtures have become dull and
rusted-looking, rub them thoroughly
with steel wool and then apply a
metal polish to them and rub until
they shine. Keep soft paper around
to wipe the fixtures dry to prevent
them from rusting.
Peacock blue with white is good
color combination to use for bath
room if you're in a warm climate.
It's cool looking, and you may use
white, blue, yellow or rose or ma
room towels and accessories with
this combination.
A yellow bathroom is very cheer
full and warm for cooler climates.
With this you may use blue, green,
black or black and white towels,
etc.
If you want to use a combination
of colors in the bathroom, have the
background gray. Gray tile with
touches of white at the borders is
very effective. With this you may
use combination of flamingo, vel.
low, dark green and dark gray.
A large bathroom Is best held to-
gether with a large, shaggy rug in
the same color that predominates
the bathroom.
