HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE Flannelettes. — These should be washed in good quality soap flakes, good suds being made and the solution squeezed through well. Hot water may be used if the garments are white, and lukewarm water if there are colours which are liable to run. Boil if white. Dry in the open, if possible, to restore the fluffiness. Iron on wrong side with a cool iron. [photograph] Washing woollens — have a good lather. (Photograph taken in the Domestic Science Department of Battersea Polytechnic, London, S.W.11.) Flannels and Woollens. — These materials must be carefully washed to prevent shrinkage. They should be washed in good soap, soap flakes or powder, or in one of the modern soapless washing powders, in order to keep white woollens from becoming yellow and harsh, and to eliminate that rancid smell peculiar to woollens washed in cheap soap. The articles should be washed in lukewarm water and the suds squeezed gently through. Rinse well in lukewarm water and squeeze as much water out as possible. Then roll in a towel. The garments should then be pulled gently to size and shape and should be dried flat, not hung up. Page Twenty-eight
