Unbleached Sheets
ear Aunt Daisy, I read in last week’s Listener that a lady was wondering how to whiten un- | bleached sheets. You gave two methods, | which sound very good, I have never tried anything like that; though. I have several pairs of unbleached sheets. I have just soaked them once to take out. the dressing, then boiled in the) ual way. I boiled them quite pften | and after a while they became as white | as snow. They looked a horrible browny | colour when first new, but are now quite | white. I didn’t blue them till they | were quite white. This may be useful for other listeners. "Constant Reader" (Palmerston North). I expect they would have come white sooner if you had put the two table- | spoons of turpentine into the copper. | It is quite right not to blue them until they are white.
