To Remove Mildew

Ingredients

Directions

  1. MRS. GEORGE B. SMYTHE.

  2. Take two ounces of chloride of lime ; pour on it a quart of boiling water ; then add three quarts of cold water. Steep the linen twelve hours, when every spot will be extracted. This will be found to quite surpass the buttermilk and chalk recipe.
