Stains may be removed by methods
already given. Make a suds with ivory
or CASTLE soap. Move the article up
and down through the suds. and, if not
then clear, rub lightly.
When washing an article for the first
time the stamping mark may prove OBJ
stinate. In this case scrub the en-
broidered portions on the wrong side
with brush. Often these marks can
be more easily removed by washing the
article first in clear cold water, when
with persistent rubbing they will come
out.
Rinse in several changes of cold
water, until every trace of soap is re-
moved. ANY soap which remains and
is ironed in will affect the colors, and
make the linen yellow.
