Have lukewarm water in which some pure white soap has been dissolved.
Soak the garment ten minutes, then squeeze out (not wring), removing the
stains by squeezing between the hands.
Rinse through two waters, each of the same temperature as the water in
which garment was soaked.
Most important is the drying process. If possible, lay the garment flat
on a sheet where it will dry quickly. If a sweater or large garment is
to be dried, it should first be dropped in the bottom of a pillow slip
or cheese-cloth bag, the slip hung up by the open end and the garment be
allowed to drip until nearly dry. Then spread on a sheet to dry, drawing
the garment into shape from time to time and turning frequently. If it
_must_ be hung up, hang evenly.
