Winter Washing - Add a large handful of salt to the rinse water, and the clothes will not freeze while hanging them out. When ready to go out, wet the hands well with vinegar. Let it dry on, and you will have no cold fingers.

To Clean Fabrics - Two good-sized potatoes are grated into a pint of water. Then they are strained through a coarse sieve into another vessel containing a pint of clear water, and allowed to stand until thoroughly settled. The clear solution is poured off and used to sponge fine materials, which are afterwards washed with clean water, dried and ironed.

To Launder Delicate White Waists - After washing and drying, apply boiled starch and hang until very dry. When ready to iron, wring out in hot water, and put through a wringer. They will not stick and will look sheer and fine.

To Wash Pongee Silk - Do not wring pongee silk, but let it drip dry. Iron with a moderately hot iron when very dry. Do not sprinkle at all.

A few drops of kerosene added to starch will make ironing easier.

When laundering Battenberg pieces put a teaspoonful of borax in the rinsing water and there will be no need of starch.
