TO
TAKE
OUT
MILDEW
FROM
CLOTHES.--Mix
some
soft
soap
with
powdered
starch,
half
as
much
salt,
and
the
juice
of
a
lemon,
lay
it
on
the
part
with
a
brush,
let
it
be
exposed
in
the
air
day
and
night,
until
the
stain
disappears.
Iron-moulds
may
be
removed
by
the
salt
of
lemons.
Many
stains
in
linen
may
be
taken
out
by
dipping
linen
in
sour
buttermilk,
and
then
drying
it
in
the
sun;
afterwards
wash
it
in
cold
water
several
times.
Stains
caused
by
acids
may
be
removed
by
tying
some
pearlash
up
in
the
stained
part;
scrape
some
soap
in
cold,
soft
water,
and
boil
the
linen
till
the
stain
is
out.
BLEACHING
STRAW.--Straw
is
bleached,
and
straw
bonnets
cleaned,
by
putting
them
into
a
cask
into
which
a
few
brimstone
matches
are
placed
lighted.
The
fumes
of
the
sulphur
have
the
effect
of
destroying
the
color,
or
whitening
the
straw.
The
same
effect
may
be
produced
by
dipping
the
straw
into
the
chloride
of
lime
dissolved
in
water.
TO
WASH
MOUSELINE-DE-LAINE.--Boil
a
pound
of
rice
in
five
quarts
of
water,
and,
when
cool
enough,
wash
in
this,
using
the
rice
for
soap.
Have
another
quantity
ready,
but
strain
the
rice
from
this
and
use
it
with
warm
water,
keeping
the
rice
strained
off
for
a
third
washing
which,
at
the
same
time,
stiffens
and
also
brightens
the
colors.
TO
BLEACH
A
FADED
DRESS.--Wash
the
dress
in
hot
suds,
and
boil
it
until
the
color
appears
to
be
gone;
then
rinse
it
and
dry
it
in
the
sun.
Should
it
not
be
rendered
white
by
these
means,
lay
the
dress
in
the
open
air,
and
bleach
it
for
several
days.
If
still
not
quite
white,
repeat
the
boiling.
