Wax spots on rugs can usually be removed successfully by first scrap- ing off as much wax as possible with a dull knife and then sponging with carbon tetrachloride. When you scrape, be careful not to injure the yarns. If the candle was colored and a stain remains, try sponging lightly with a liquid made of two parts of water and one part of denatured (rubbing) alco- hol. As a precaution against fading, test the mixture first on an incon- spicuous part of the rug Wax that has run down from candleholders onto the linen can be removed by the same method of first scraping and then sponging with carbon tetrachloride. Wax spots on the mantel will come oft 12 rubbed vigerously with a cloth. Upper: This Sw s dis the “‘Queen of Bride of Light,” of a Christmas Carol par Bweden.
