A Soiled Raincoat
Dear Aunt Daisy, Could you tell me the best way to clean a navy blue water-proof coat which is looking very shabby? I hope you or some of the Chain can help me. -"Just a Link" (Kapunui). The way to clean all raincoats, except the gabardine ones which are "waterproofed," is to lay them flat on the table and have a small basin containing lukewarm soapy water with a few drops of ammonia. Have also a basin with clean water, then with a small nail brush, go over the whole coat, rinsing with a cloth as you go. Put it to dry out of the sun, as sun is not ood for the rubber. If the coat is faded, you can use the method which so many Daisy Chain mothers use for their children’s school coats-mix up a 800d navy dye according to directions, and brush it evenly all over the coat after it has been washed, and let it dry again,
