Cleaning around your Castle

Tips from the book, The French Art of Tea

for cleaning with Tea in the Home (Castle).

To rid a frying pan of the odour of fish or onion,

rub it with damp tea leaves.

To clean painted woodwork, nothing is as

effective as strong tea.

To clean and revive the colour of carpets,

scatter them with used tea leaves-well drained-

then brush off.

To drive mosquitos from a room,

burn some tea leaves.

Silk garments, tatamis and other mats can be

washed with tea, which removes stains and odours

and give them a fine sheen.

Disclaimer: I have not tried these tips, but they

sound like they might be interesting to try.
If you do try any of them, let me know how it worked.
