Spots on Gloves
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have a pair of good navy nappa gloves which have become very spotted, probably through being put away damp. Is there anything I could do to remove this? "T aupiri." You could try this method which has been found very successful. Get a cardboard box long enough to lay out the gloves quite flat, perhaps a shoe box. Sprinkle first a layer of powdered ammonia bought from the chemist; then put two layers of tissue paper and lay out the gloves on this. Cover with two more layers of paper, then sprinkle with more powdered ammonia, Put the lid on the box tightly, and leave 2 or 3 days. The ammonia fumes should remove the spots, and the paper prevents the gloves from coming into direct contact with it.
