Javelle Water Bleach
Dear Aunt Daisy, Early in January I-wrote to you regarding some bad mildew marks on two linen table-cloths. You recommended that I should use the Javelle water bleach. I became ill just then, so did not do anything about it; and naturally expected that the mildew marks would be so set in the linen after the six months wait that nothing would remove them. However, as the tablecloths were spotted all over and were of no use as they were anyhow, I set to work with the Javelle water bleach and followed your instructions. How thrilled I was to find that the tablecloths were snowwhite once more! "A Thankful Listener." This is the bleach: Leave Y2Ib. chloride of lime to stand in 2 quarts of cold
water overnight. Dissolye 1lb. washing soda in 1 quart of boiling water, and when cold, add to the lime water, which has been very well strained through muslin. Use in the proportion of half and half with plain water. Soak the clothes in this for several hours, then rinse thoroughly. This is a good bleach for white things.
