GLUE ON LINOLEUM QUESTION: We recently pur- | chased a house which is three years old. When the rubber base was glued on in the kitchen, a lot of glue was spilled on the linole''m. How can this be tak- | en off? ANSWER: ° Read the label of | the glue container carefully; it should contain mention of the solvent recommended by the manufacturer for this particular | adhesive. Or consult the dealer from whom it was purchased. | Different glues require different | solvents for removal. And be | careful not to allow it to remain too long on the linoleunr surface; the solvent for the glue may adversely affect the linoleum. CLEANING BIRCHWOOD j QUESTION: There are birch- wood cabinets in ‘our kitchen. | How can these be cleaned? | Over the stove there are quite a - grease spots on the cabi- nets ANSWER: The Cabinets can be cleaned with a cream, cledn- up wax. made by a nationally | known manufacturer and widely | available at supermarkets hard- | ware and houseware stores; fol- low label instructions for~ use. This removes surface. gr-e-a-se and grime, leaving a_ protec- tive coating at the same time.
