Furniture Needs
Occasional Bath
Household furniture needs
an occasional beauty bath to
keep its complexion sparkling,
says Miss Ava Rodgers, home
furnishings and art specialist
for the University of Georgia
Cooperative Extension service.
She points out that greasy film
collects on furniture due to
cooking and heating fumes
which condense when they
touch exposed surfaces. The
film traps dust and dirt par
ticles, and should be removed
completely every six months.
Then a coat of wax should be
applied.
