Grease Spots on Wood

If one is so unfortunate as to get any sort of grease on floor or table, apply directly potter's clay, just wet with water so as to form a stiff paste. Spread it pretty thick upon the grease spot, and lay a thin paper over to keep it from being rubbed off. After twenty-four hours scrape it off and spread on fresh clay. It will gradually absorb the grease, and leave the floor or table clean; but it may need to be renewed several times. When the clay looks clean, wash off with soap and water. The clay is also good to take grease from clothing, applied in the same way.
