caused the streaks. But as you
value the piece so much, I advise
you to have the cleaning done by
an experienced marble worker, if
you can get one to come. If no
one can be had, try sponging with
a weak solution of oxalic acid
(poison) using one ounce dis
solved in one quart of water.
Wipe or brush the solution on
the stains, allow to act for a min
ute or two. and then sponge with
clear water. Repeat If necessary.
The following is a method that
was sent in by one of our readers,
who wrote that he did a very sue
cessful job of cleaning his ciga-
rette-stained white marble paper
weight by first washing it with
a soap made of lava.
This took off most of the dirt,
but not the cigarette stains. For
this he used a piece of pumice
stone and the soap made of lava,
with the result that the marble is
today "as white as the driven
snow" He added that the pumice
did not take the polish off the
marble, nor scratch it.

Question: I have a marble
statue that belonged to my par
ents. For a number Of years, ]
have cleaned it successfully as my
mother did with a white soap
and water. Recently I noticed
some orange-like streaks on the
back of the statue which won't
come off. though I tried a paste
of soda. I even tried securing pow
derS.
Do you suppose the sunshine Git
is on a stand in a corner by two
windowS could have caused those
discolorations. or could it be
caused by the chlorine which has
been added to our water? Can
suggest anything to take off these
orange streaks without injury to
the marble?
Answer: I cannot say what
