Discoloured White Woollies
Dear Aunt Daisy, As a regular listener to your programme, I was disappointed to learn that while away on vacation I missed your little chat on restoring discolour24 white woollens. Would you let me have’ a note of the ingredients required and where they may be obtained?

To get rid of a general yellowing of white woollens you may safely use the bleach sodium perborate, available from chemists. This will not harm woollens, and, in fact, leaves them soft and fluffy. You can scak the garment for up to 2 an hour in a warm soapy solution, adding 4 level tablespoons of sodium perborate to 1 pint water. The same amount--4 tablespoons to a pint of water with no soap, makes a good sponging bleach for removal of odd small ectaine
