Whitening Woollies Again
Dear Aunt Daisy, You have published before the methods of how to whiten woollies that have gone off colour. Somehow I always forget to cut it out, so please * could you put in the instructions again? This time I will keep it safely. I prefer the one wsing powdered chalk... . Dolly, of Dunedin. It is quite a simple method, and quite effective. Weigh the woollen garment, and to every one pound of wool allow 2 pounds of powdered chalk, which you can get from the chemist. Mix this to a thin paste with water, and knead the garment well in it. Leave it for a while, and then rititse it thoroughly, and put it to dry. Let it dty in the shade, or anywhere, but NOT. in the sun, as sun makes white woollies go yellow.
