The Mildew Disappeared
Dear Aunt Daisy, Thank you so much for sending me the directions for taking the mildew out of my tablecloth. Needless to say I got on to it straight away, with the chloride of lime and washing soda methodjavelle water. I was amazed to find every trace of mildew had gone and the cioth as white as ever again. If you had seen the state it was in, you would never have thought it would ever have come like new again. | =I have you to thank that if didn’t go’ in the copper, as that was all it was fit for in that awful state. a: "Featherston." "Another quick: and effective method is to dissolve lb. chloride of lime in 1 gallon of water. Strain through double muslin, and lay the mildewed article in the water. Watch it and take it out as soon as the mildew fades away-may be 15 minutes, Then wash the cloth as usual and rinse very thoroughly with baking soda in the water, to kill the lime.
