Unbleached Sheets
Dear Aunt Daisy, -Could you tell me the quickest way in which to make unbleached sheets white? : "A.C.," Fairfield. First soak the sheets in water with a handful of Epsom salts thrown in, leaving in the tubs all day and all night. The salts will take the dressing vut. Next day, after putting them through the wringer twice, put the sheets in a copper of ccld water, and add 2 tablespoons turpentine. Bring to the boil and allow to boil for % hour, then rinse twice in clean cold water (no blue), then peg out. The sheets after this treatment are a@& lovely cream colour, and should come white in the next wash. Do not use blue till. they are quite white.
