WHITMAN GREASY KITCHEN DRAWERS QUESTION: We are cleaning our flat and some kitchen draw- ers have very greasy side and front boards on the inside from greasy hands. How can we get this out? ANSWER: Try cleaning with a cream, clean-up wax made by a nationally known manufactur- er, available at supermrkets, housewres and __ hardware stores; follow label directions. Or cover greasy surfaces with a thick paste made of powdered whiting or other absorbent pow- der and a nonflammable liquid spot remover, covering with plastic to retard evaporation. The spot remover acts as a sol- vent on the grease and the ab- j sorbent powder like a blotter to draw it out.

The tile is pasted on a cement floor. Must the old tile be removed? It would be quite a project to remyoe the tile now down. ANSWER: Floor covering dealers generally do not recom- down one floor covering over another for the excellent reasons that if any: thing happens to the adhesive on the bottom layer, the top layer will also be affected. How- ever, if the presen tile adheres tightly and is absolutely smooth you might take a.chance, as many others do successfully.
