Clean Those White Velvet Sandals

Can you tell me how to clean some white pelvet sandals?

Rub a liberal amount of powdered French chalk into the volvet, Wrop up in while paper and leave for n couple of days. Brush out with a

soft brush. Repeat If necessary.

能

Some cau-de-cologne leaked in a Buil-care and a navy dreas stained some white pique shorts. Is there any way of removing the stain?

Stretch the stain över a basin and cover with borax. Pour on bolling water. Repeat If necessary.

If this ong enough more method is not strong drastic means may be used. Mix a

tablespoonful of chlorinated lime with une quarter pint of boiling water and

a teaspoonful of washing soda. Allow to settle. Pour a little on the wet stain. Repeat until the stain disappears. I is important to rinse between each application of bleach.

How would you recommend ciraa- up chromium plated locks 登録 suitcase?

Chromium plating should not re- quire a cleaning agent but merely an occasional rub with a soft cloth. If they have become dull, rub with a cloth moistened in equal quantities of ammonia and water.

You buy mostly water

with old fashioned bottle cleaners.

White shoe cleaners in bottles are as old fashioned as the horse and buggy. To-day modern people, who want full value for their money, are using white shoe cleaner in tubes—KIWI.

. With KIWI, you get all cleaner, a concentrated white that is always ready to use. There is none of the old bottle shaking, you use less water, the job is done quicker and with less mess and above all it is most economical. There

are over 100 cleans in each tube of KIWI ---enough for a season for two people.
