Sngkur cleaning time is here! One
of dreaded tasks connected
withnouse cleaning is that of clean
ing and caring for the floors. When
floors become soiled and need a
thorough cleaning, it is necessary to
remove the old wax as well as the
dirt.
There is a long-handled mop with
replaceable steel wool pads on the
market. This mop, used with one of
the commercial floor cleaners, will
soften the wax and loosen the dirt.
With this mop, apply the cleaner to
a small area at a time, wipe up the
wax and soil with a clean cloth be
fore it dries, (a cloth used under the
same mop will pick up the soil). As- ]
ter the entire floor has been cleaned,
a clean cloth (an old bath towel is
good) may be slightly moistened with
the cleaner afid may be used to go
over the floor lightly again. The floor
is then ready to wax.
Soap and water are not recommend
ed for wood floors. They may raise 1
the grain of the wood and discolor the
floor. If soap and water are used, i
use mild soap and warm water and
use sparingly. Follow with a cloth f
wrung out of dear water and dry j
with a clean cloth.
Stubborn spots may require spe- j
cial attention. Apply the cleaner to
the spot with a piece of steel wool,
rub lightly. Turpentine with steel
wool is also effective on Some spots.
Waxing
There are two types of wax—spirit
base wax which requires polishing, |
and water base or self-polishing wax \
which needs no buffing.
If floors are only slightly soiled, the
cleaning and polishing wax may be
used instead of the commercial floor j
cleaner. This cleans and leaves a very
thin coat of wax in one operation.
Usually this is followed with a thin
coat of heavy duty wax. j
Heavy duty liquid wax may be easi- 1
ly applied with a long handled, lamb’s
wool applicator, and it wears well.
Paste wax wears well, but it must
be applied by hand which is not an
easy process.
Any wax, whether paste or liquod.

should be applied evenly in a thin coat
| over the entire floor, working with
J the grain of the wood. Allow at least
j thirty minutes for the solvent to
j evaporate. Polish when it no longer
feels damp.
j Linoleum floors or the new vinyl
plastic floors may be cleaned with
; cleaning and polishing wax. If this
' method is used, the wax may be ap-1
i plied with a steel mop to a small area j

THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1954.
When cleaning linoleum floors with
soap and. water, use mild soap and
warm water and use sparingly. Rinse
with clear warm • water. If strong
soaps are used and if water is allow
ed to stand on the floor, linoleum,
(even the best inlaid linoleum) may
dry out and crack.
Polishing or self-polishing wax may
|be used, as you prefer. Try them and
i see which wears best on your floor.
For cleaning Asphalt or Rubber
I Tile mild soap and water may re
move surface soil but may not re
move all the old wax. If wax is al
lowed to build up, it becomes unsight
ly. There is a commercial cleaner on
| the market for cleaning asphalt and
'rubber tile. This cleaner removes the
| old wax as it cleans.
To protect rubber or asphalt tile,
self-polishing wax only is recommend
ed. Spirit base waxes may soften and
discolor both rubber and asphalt.
