Removing Transfer Marks
Dear Aunt Daisy, For the Link who wishes to remove the transfer pattern, tell her that, while vinegar takes some hours, the marks will come out in a few minutes, if the place is put into plain cold water and tubbed as in ordinary washing. The water must be quite cold, and no soap of any sort used at all. I do quite a lot of fancy work, and always remove the marks this way, so know it is good. This does not work if the transfer has once been washed. Also, Rust or Ironmould can be removed by rubbing the spot with citric or tartaric acid while wet. Spread in sun and when dry, the rust will have disappeared. Then wash in warm water to
remove acid;
Mrs.
V.
Blenheim.
