Water Affects Varnish.
The varnish on some furniture is so
hard and smooth that finger marks
and soiled places may be removed
with a cloth wrung out of Inkewarm
suds, made with white soap, and the
finish restored by rubbing with a cloth,
on which a few drops of light lubri
cating oil or furniture polish has been
sprinkled. In many cases this Is a
good method to use on the tops of
dining tables, but in general It Is un
wise to put water on varnished, oiled
