Those who have waxed floors in their
dwellings know, according to Luloor,
and Out, how invaluable turpentine 18 in
cleating them. With sandpaper, or steel
wool, dipped in tltrpentiue, the blackeot
coatinng, which ie apt to aecmmllatet in
winter on waxed floors not frequently
polished, can be easily and quickly re-
moved; and a washing with turpentine
does much to brighten up any waxed
floor, preparatory to the 'application of
a light fresh coat of wax and polishing
with the weighted brush. As with all
other painters' materials, however, tur-
pentine ie shamefully adulterated, and
care must be taken to get only the Lest
and purest from some thoroughly red
I able dealer. The usual adulterant is
jcheap benzine, and as benzine terns
I good floor wax a dirty white, 111rri'ntine
so adulterated has an injurious effect ou
the floor.' The floor "waxes" made with
tallow show less effect from adulterated
turpentine, but the wise householder will
use only those floor waxes which are
made with bees' wax and turpentine,
with a little paraflin, but no. tallowy.
