Wash-Day Troubles
Dear Aunt Daisy, The Links in our "Daisy Chain" who are having trouble with their washingcopper making dirty green marks on their washing are making a big mistake (and, incidentally, a rod for their own backs) in cleaning the copper at all! It should simply be wiped dry while still hot. However, now that they have been polishing it, their best plan is to rub soap round after they have emptied out the suds, and leave it. If this is done each time they will soon be free from any green marks, It needs to be done several times, but it acts all right. Thirtyone years ago I was a "Just Married" too, and I made the mistake of "cleaning the copper," and wept out my woes to my mother. That is what she told me to do, and ever after I just dried the copper-no further trouble. I have no trouble now, either, as for many years I have been using a machineevery mother should have one and would, if I had my way! I hope your worried "Links" will try my hint.
Sunshine Susy.
