Burn―Or Scorch?
Dear Aunt Daisy, Could you or any member of your Daisy Chain please inform me through The Listener of the best way to treat a burn stain on navy blue serge? "Worried School Girl," Kaitangata. lf your serge is really burnt, you won't get the mark out, and it will probably go into a hole, anyway. But if: it is only scorched, try this: Make a thick plaster of powdered starch and caild water. Put plenty on, even both sides if the scorch is bad, Keep it. damp. tor some hours, or all night. Then wash. This has been very successful, though sometimes you have to do it twice.
