Scorch Marks
Dear Aunt Daisy, I wonder if your readers know that a certain remedy for scorched materialsplain or coloured, cotton, silk or woollen-is to smear the scorch with a thick layer of raw starch, mixed as stiffly as possible; then hang out in the sunshine. An ordinary scorch will come out in a day-a very very bad one may take two or three days, damping the starch each morning, but I’ve never had a scorch which did not respond to the
treatment.-

I’m sure we are all grateful to M.H., for her very helpful hint.
