CRETONNE COVERS.
HOW TO WASH
This method will prevent the colours fading or the covers shrinking:—Fill two large muslin bags with bran. Use nbojjt half a bushel of bran. Place the bags of bran in a wash-house copper of boiling water, and boil for two hours. Dip this bran water out into the tubs and allow to cool. Then soak the dirty covers or curtains in the water. Add some soft soap to the bran water, and wash the covers or curtains. The curtains should not be rubbed hard, but if the covers are very dirty any soap free of soda can lie used to wash the dirty places. Rinse the covers and curtains in fresh bran water taken from the copper and cooled, and then hang them on the line to dry. Do not use clear water for rinsing, and do not starch. Bring the covers and curtains in before they are too dry, and iron on the wrong side.
