A half pound of unslacked lime (or one teacup), one pound of sal-soda, one ounce of borax and one gallon of rain-water. Use a half teacup of the fluid to one boiler of water. Soak the clothes over night in clear water; put the fluid into the water and let it come to a boil; soak the clothes and pour the mixture over them; boil in clean water and rinse twice. The water the clothes are boiled in may be used for washing coarse flannels, calicoes, etc.
