HOMEMAKERS’ HINTS
By KAY E. WEBB Extension Agent, Home Economics
Polish That Marble Table: With a little care the marble around your home or on an old piece of furniture that you are thinking about purchasing can shine like new.
To remove stains from marble, use a poultice. It can be made of white blotting paper, white paper napkins, white cleansing tissue, commercial whiting or of a powdered household cleaner. The poultice needs to bei soaked in the proper solution and kept from drying out while it is on the marble drawing out the stain. It can be kept moist with a covering of glass or sheet of plastic and requires 48 or more hours, depending on the stain. Stain removal is facilitated by washing the surface with clear water before applying a poultice soaked with hydrogen peroxide or household ammonia for organic stains, caused by such substances as coffee, tea and flowers.
Butter, milk, cream, hand creams and other such substances often yield to poultices soaked in amyl acetate or acetone. Rust stains can be removed by a poultice soaked in commercial iron rust remover.
Fine scratches may be buffed away. The entire surface can be repolished, with tin oxide applied on a damp cloth. Buffing, either by hand or with a pad mounted on a power drill, needs to be continued until each etch mark or small crack disappears and the marble surface shines.
