Immerse the cloth in boiling suds ; then take out and put directly into the mixture ; leave it in for half an hour, then rinse the muslin thoroughly and lay upon the grass or snow, or hang upon a line in the sun. To make it very white, dampen occasion- ally and leave it out for two or three days.
This is equally good : For twenty yards of muslin take one pound of chloride of lime ; soak it in warm water over night ; then strain through a coarse cloth into a tub of water as hot as you can bear the hands in ; put in the cloth and stir it constantly thirty minutes ; then wring out and rinse as long as your strength or patience lasts and your cloth will be white and it will not injure it — if it is thoroughly rinsed.
To Cleanse Cotton Goods — Add to hot rain water an amount of wheat bran equal to one-eighth of the fabric to be cleansed, and after stirring well for five minntes, add the goods ; stir them about with a clean stick and bring the articles to a boil. Allow the mixture to cool until the goods can be washed out, after which rinse them well.
