HINTS on CLOTHES CLEANING


The woman who wants 10 econo-
nize wherever and whenever possible
Will certainly try 10 do all the clean
Ing OF her clothes she possibly can
al home. One Of the most important
rules Of success is to clean clothes as
soon as they are soiled. and not hang
silks, g~eorgettes, etc, away for the
next season soiled or stained and then
clean them when you need same.
First emoye all dust from the
garment by brushing same with a
soft, good brush. preventing to brush
against the nap. particularly il you
handle satin or broadcloth.
If a dark cloth garment shows
shiny spots brush them with ammon-
IA and water and iron on left side
while damp. A novel way to press
IS to place three or four layers Of
newspapers on the garment and 90
over II with moderately hot iron.
Stains should be removed before
ironing. a mixture OF gasoline and
ether VIII remove grease stains with
out difficulty.
PAINTS can be removed by means
Of turpentine without much difficulty.
The best way to dc this is by making
& pad OF soft cloth or absorbent cot
ton so that the turpentine may not
spread all over the material. After
turpentine has ev~aporated apply dry
magnesia to both sides OF the cloth
and let It remain there for several
hours. II this procedure does not re-
10Y the stains the first time, a sec
ond application will surely finish the
Job.
INK STAINS can easily be remov-
ed from white articles by using an
ink eradicator. such as used in offices.
but the difficulty appears II colored
goods are ink-stained. as you might
take the color u with the ink at the
same time. There are nan ways Of
taking ink stains out, as there are so
many different kinds OF ink.
One "a to remove wet ink stains
IS TO apply salt Immediately and re-
peat as Don as the salt absorbs the
nix. Lemon Juice is another medium
u getting rid OF ink stains.
Dry Ink spots can be removed by
'ubbing fresh milk on it until the
Ipot disappears. then remove milk
Itains with ammonia and water.
