Cleaning Silk

In washing silk there are four things
to be avoided-rubbing, wringing heat,
and soap. Use luke-warm water, and if
the silk is much soiled make lather
with good white soap, but never rub
the soap directly on the cloth. If only
slightly soiled, bran water is preferable
to soap. Swish the article round and
round, but do not rub. When clean,
rinsein water to which one tablespoon
iul OF vinegar has been added for each
quart OF water. Place between dry cloths
and squeeze out as much moisture as
possible, but do not wiring. Iron at once
between paper, with mediumly heated
iron.
Sponging with coffee will remove the
greasy appearance that especially at
fects grOs grain silks.
A good renOvating fluid for black
silk is a little rock OF ammonia and a
lump Of common soda dissolved in one
half pint boiling water. Sponge and
iron between paper or under black cloth.
