Never put damp towels in soiled
clothes hampers or bags. Leave them
spread out until they are dry, and then
toss them into the basket. II the
towels are damp when cast into the
hamper, not only Is there danger OF
mildew, but the things that they touch
are also likely TO be spotted.
Mildew Is not q stain, but . species
Of mold, that grows from the wee spots
Of gray-blue or black until it spreads
over damp textiles. II left long enough,
this mold gets into the very fiber OF
textiles and eventually destroys them
It is necessary to remove the small
spots soon after they appear or they
may never come out.
There are several ways Of removing
mildew. Fresh spots can be removed,
frequently. by thoroughly washing the
articles In soap and water, and then
laundering them in the usual way. Dry
in the sun, and its penetrating rays
will aid in removing the spots.
Sour milk and lemon juice are two
acids that may be used with success,
provided the spots are light. Soak
the spotted parts in sour milk for 10
or IL hours, then dry in the sun with
out rinsing When using lemon juice
moisten the spotted places with the
juice and dry in hot sunlight. In
each instance repeat the process sew
eral times If spots do not disappear
with the first treatment.
Javelle water can be used on white
textiles. Stretch the marked portion
of the textile over q bowl, and, using
o medicine dropper, drop the liquid
onto the spots. After one minute. ap-
ply a solution of oxalic acid to neutral
lie the javelle water, and then rinse in
clear water. Repeat the rinsing in
several waters until all traces Of the
two solutions have disappeared. Unless
this Is done, the fabric will rot. Do
not use this method of removing mil
dew spots from silk or wool, but only on
white linen or cotton goods.
