Help in the Laundry
Dear Aunt Daisy, Will you publish the following washing fluid for the poor souls who cannot afford a washing machine? It is so absolutely reliable, and will not injure any colours that are fast. I would like to share this excellent help with others. WASHING FLUID: One pound of caustic soda, 1lb. of borax, and, from the chemist, one ounce of salts of tartar and one ounce of muriated ammonia. Dissolve it all in two gallons of cold water and bottle. In the first copperful of boiling water, to which has been added 1 cupful of this fluid, and 2 to 3 inches cut off a bar of soap, put in the clothes dry; boil the slightly soiled ones approximately ten minutes; and the more soiled a little longer. To the second boil, add 4 cup more of the fluid, and more soap if necessary. Rinse well before blueinc.
