Why White Nylon Turns Yellow
In order to prevent white nylon snirts and otner garments taking on a yellow tinge, care should be taken wnen drying garments. Nylon should never be dried near direct heat or in strong sunlight nor should it be placed in a hot water cupboard. If white nylon does become yellowed it can be restored to the original white colour by gentle bleacning. Makers of nylon warn against the use of a strong bleach, but a safe bleaching agent is a solution of 202- of Clor-O-Gene to a gallon of water. After washing, the garment should be rinsed thoroughly. Clor-O-Gene is obtainable, at all stores, and a pamphlet giving many uses of this wonder fluid is obtainable hv writing to Clor-O-Gene Supplies.' Ltd., Box 47, Petone. —Advt
