Sheets and pillow-cases can be kept a better colour if very little boilingwater starch is added to the blueing water. The starch-water improves the appearance of both cotton and linen by giving a smoother and more glossy surface, which does not soil so readily. . * * Adding quarter-cup of skimmed milk to the blueing water helps to prevent streaking the clothes.
