A HAIRBRUSH HINT.
Even after washing in cold water with ammonia (one teaspoonful to a quart of water) and rinsing also in cold water, the bristles of hair brushes and clothes brushes are apt to remain soft.

But if this is not available, dip them in equal parts of milk and water, which acts almost a,s well, and dry them carefully in front of a fire.
