Practical Receipts. To Polish Fine Furniture.

Scientific American 49, 29.7.1848

Prepared by a German Chemist for the Scientific American.

The simplest and best thing for polishing fine parlor furniture from dust and dirt, fresh milk, which has not been skimmed, is spread upon the wood, which is then rubbed with a fine woolen rag, until it is completely dry. This has to be repeated several times. Milk offers, besides not producing an offensive smell, the advantage that the furniture can be used again without delay.
