Shine on Black Material
Dear Aunt Daisy, Somebody asked how to remove shine from black material, I enquired of a tailoress, and am passing on. the information. Wring out a cloth pretty wet, place over shine, and just touch with a very hot iron, Do not press at all, but the hot iron over the wet cloth steams up the surface again.-Auckland. It the shine is caused by wear, as on boys’ serge suits, try sponging with a weak solution of ammonia and water, or weak blue-water, and then pressing over 2 or 3 thicknesses of newspaper. The old pioneers’ way was to boil ivy-leaves in water and sponge the shiny suit with the juice, afterwards pressing over a damp cloth.
