Frances’ Helpful Hints<br />
by Frances Botham<br />
1) Have a sickly stained vase or bottle and don’t know<br />
what to do? Give it an Alka Seltzer! That’s right! Fill<br />
with water and drop in an Alka Seltzer and let stand for<br />
24 hours. Then brush, wash and rinse thoroughly. Dry and the stain<br />
should be gone. This usually works quite well. If not, what can I say,<br />
but throw out the vase or bottle.<br />
2) Don’t do this! Don’t do that! Well here are some more “don’t”<br />
mentions. Don’t wash ivory. Don’t repaint old toys. Don’t tape old<br />
paper. Don’t wash oil paintings. Don’t buff pewter. Just don’t do it!<br />
3) How to clean Lacquer? Truly a dilemma but never fear because help<br />
is on the way. Make a paste of flour and olive oil. Use clean flannel<br />
cloth to polish the item with this concoction and the result is a clean<br />
gleaming finish. Tasting the paste is not recommended.<br />
4) Good old baking soda is still out there working like a trojan. Use<br />
baking soda and water to give graniteware and other enameled ware a<br />
gleaming finish. Truly amazing stuff!<br />
5) To wax or not to wax? That is the question. If you like to wax your<br />
furniture, remember that it is safe to put paste wax over spray wax, but<br />
not a good idea to apply spray over paste wax. It could soften the wax<br />
and ruin the finish. So, don’t spray the paste!<br />
6) Here’s a little quiz. I’ve got it, no, I had it, no, I threw it out. What<br />
are the most despised, the most hated expressions of all times for all<br />
antique dealers? By George, you’ve got it!<br />
