Limp Loose Covers
Dear Aunt Daisy, After I have washed the loose covers on the sitting room suite I find that in a week or two they are limp again and soon become soiled. I have tried starch, plastic starch, and also gelatine. I am wondering now if you could tell me what dressing is in new sheets and cotton materials and whether it is possible to treat the covers with it. If you can help me I shall watch The Listener for a
reply.

I don’t know what the manufacturers use as a finish (or dressing) when making materials, I doubt whether it is possible to find out, as it is part of the process. However, we shall see if the Daisy Chain can help.
