Dye Marks on the Sheets
Dear Aunt Daisy, When washing the clothes to-day I put in a facecloth to boil with them, and did not notice the dye coming out of it until I was taking the clothes out of the copper. The red had run into some of | the sheets and other things. I wonder if you could tell me what to do about
it;
Lincoln.
Possibly the easiest and quickest way is to use a reliable dye remover---and tollow the directions on the packet. Or you could use a bleach, such as a chloride | . of lime preparation. You can buy these, | and follow the directions on the label; | or you can make up a quick solution at.) home, the proportion being 2 teaspoons | of chloride of lime to 1 pint of water. | Strain it carefully through several thick. | nesses of muslin, and soak the stained parts in this till they:come white again. | Put a little vinegar in the rinsing water | to kill the lime. ;
