452. White Spots on Furniture
A warming-pan full of coals, or a shovel of coals, held over varnished furniture, will take out white spots. Care should be taken not to hold the pan near enough to scorch; the place to which heat has thus been applied, should be rubbed with a flannel while warm.
453. Acid Fading
Sal-Volatile or hartshorn will restore colours taken out by acid. It may be dropped upon any garment without doing harm.
454. New Iron
New iron should be very gradually heated at first. After it has become inured to the heat, it is not as likely to crack.
