Most of the students that attempted the question on weekly cleaning of a plain wooden surface did not write it sequentially. The (b) part of the question on types of finishing given to wooden surfaces was very well answered.
The required answers to the question are as follows:
3(a) Description of weekly cleaning of a plain wooden surface.
- Remove surface dust with dry duster
- Sprinkle warm soapy water on a small section
- Scrub with a brush following the wood grain
- Use wet foam or duster to remove dirt
- Rinse by wiping the portion cleaned with foam or duster dipped in clean water
- Wipe dry with clean cloth
- Dry in an open air
- Always use as little water as possible in cleaning a plain wood
Note: For full six marks, look for, dusting, sprinkling small soapy water, scrubbing, rinsing, wiping dry and drying in the open air, in sequence for weekly cleaning only
