HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SILKS
Remove Grease Spots by Holding Over
Fire; French Chalk and Press
ing Recommended.
A good way to- get grease spots frpm
silk, writes a correspondent, is to hbld
the spotted port over a warm Qre,
not ifot enough to burn the silk, bul
hot enough to melt the grease; put a
piece of blotting paper over the s£ot
and then put a warm Iron on the
blotter.
A good method for cleaning black
silk is this: Mix strong coffee stud
ammonia. Brush the silk thoroughly
and then rnb the liquid on with a soft
cloth. Wind around a board to dry.
French chalk will remove some
spots from sillk. Rub the chalk thor
oughly In the- garment and let It stay
there for a day or so. Then brush It
out with a velvet brush.
Water spots can sometimes be re
moved by pressing the silk on t)ie
wrong side, with a piece of thin mus
lin between the Iron and the silk.
If silk han lost Its body and stlffnftsa
follow the method of a renovator: I’.p 11
an old, clean kid glove In water aftd
sponge the silk with the somewhat
sticky liquid resulting.
Whenever silk is pressed a sheet jof
tissue paper or a piece of thin muslin
should be spread over the silk to pre
vent glazing. The silk should -he
placed with Its right side toward tji« I
board. Ironed on the wrong side. •
