Washing Blankets
Dear Aunt Daisy, I see that in one of your recent pages in The Listener you gave notes about washing blankets. My way is similar to one of those given, but I rinse them in the following way. It is easy, and leaves the blankets fluffy, while they dry very quickly: Take them out of the soapy water, but instead of rinsing them two or three times, put them on the line, all wet as they are. Then with the garden hose, spray all over and under thoroughly, and leave to drain, This saves rinsing and wringing in the usual way.- A.E.S.". What a good idea! Thank you very much, That is the great advantage of having a " Daisy Chain":- we get such clever hints trom each other. The Women’s Institutes have thoroughly imbued us with their motto, "If you know a good thing, pass it on"; and the Radio Daisy Chain, with its supplementary columns in "The Listener,’ offers a splendid vehicle for " passing on" throughout New Zealand.
