A Soiled White Mackintosh
Dear Aunt Daisy, I should like to clean my white mackintosh; can you tell me how? Also, shall I use oil of eucalyptus or the extract for cleaning powder, etc., off the neck of my coat. Thanking you.-‘A Listener." First, the. white mackintosh, Just wash it thoroughly all over with cool sudsy water, to which some powdered magnesia has been added. Rub the coat well with this, then rinse off with clean water and dry with a clean cloth, Some people prefer to add ammonia instead of magnesia to the water. For the powder marks on the neck of your coat, try turpentine. We have found it even better than eucalyptus. The oil and the extract are really just the same thing.
