Paraffin Washing. — Paraffin washing saves much time and labour, but it is necessary to have lots of hot rinsing water and open-air drying. Shred | lb. of soap into an ordinary boiler, fill with water; when the soap is quite melted and the water boiling add tablespoons of paraffin oil. Put the clothes into the boiler and boil for ^ hour, never letting the water off the boil. Remove and rinse in warm water till free from the smell of paraffin; then rinse in cold water, in which you have put the blue; hang in the open air. In sorting soiled clothes put the cleanest in the boiler first and graduate till the most soiled kitchen clothes, &c., are put in last, but remember for paraffin boiling they must ail be dry.
White clothes should be dried in the open air when possible in the sun.
Coloured prints, &c., in the open air out of the sun, and turned inside out.
Flannels quickly, without great heat; shake and stretch while drying.
