To Whiten Unbleached Sheets
SOAK the unbleached sheets in cold’ water with a handful of Epsom Salts for 24 hours. This takes out the | dressing. Put through wringer twice. Then put into copper filled with cold water, and add 2: good tablespoons _ of turpentine. Bring to boil, and continue boiling for 20 minutes. Then rinse in two clean waters, without any blue, and hang out for a day and a night. The sheets should now be soft and creamy, and will become quite white after a couple of ordinary washings. Do not use blue till they are bleached.
