Storing Kid Gloves
Dear Aunt Daisy, Could you advise me on how to store kid gloves to prevent them developing spots?
Mrs.
G.K.G., Kamo.
Here is the method given me by the glove buyer at one of our. leading drapers: Get a cardboard box-perhaps "a shoe-box--and put in a layer of the best powdered rock-ammonia (from the chemist). Upon this lay a double thickness of white paper, and then lay the gloves out flat upon the paper. Now cover with another double thickness of paper, and then put another layer of powdered rock-ammonia. (Do NOT let the ammonia TOUCH the gloves). Cover with the lid of the box. Look at the gloves evety week or so, to make sure that all is well with them. This method is really for gloves already spotted, but I think it should be just as good for preventing spots. Sometimes you can leave them out in the air for a day or two.
