GELATIN USED
IN CARE OF RAYONS
There is some hope for ray
ons that become sleezy after
the first wash. A crisp new ap-
pearance can be restored by
using a solution of gelatin.
Wash the rayon in soap and
water, not a detergent. After
repeated washings with a de-
tergent a noticeable CRAVING eff
feet can be seen. To prevent
this always use soap and water
with rayonS as well as cOttOnS
and linen.
Melt a package of unflavored
gelatin in half a cup of cold
water. In about 10 minutes
boiling water may be poured
over this to further dissolve the
gelatin When this is cool the
rayon blouse or dress is squeez-
ed through this solution. The
amount of water to use for one
package will depend on the
amount of stiffening desired in
the material and the type Of
material. From about a gallon
to two gallons of water usually
works out quite well for one
tablespoon of gelatin. When
ironed, the garment will have
body added to it, will be crisp
and new looking, and will also
shed the dirt and will wrinkle
less easily.
