Cleaning Wallpaper, How to Clean Wallpaper

It is well to know that you can sometimes clean wallpaper, especially ceilings which have become smoked; this is done with a handful of unbaked dough, to which the dirt will stick. What I always use is the moist, soft part of a loaf of fresh bread, just baked; with it a ceiling can be cleaned so as to look and be as good as new, and it is not a difficult thing to do. Moldings and ornaments can be cleaned the same way.

In putting on the border, which is the last part of the paper hanging, do not begin in a corner; start a few inches back from the corner, and then you can make a smooth corner job.
