Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 73, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 March 1911 — To Clean Tatting. [ARTICLE]

To Clean Tatting.

It is difficult to wash tatting to look as good as new, being almost impossible to restore the picots to their original shape. Soak the pieces in gasoline and while wet dust them with cornstarch. Wrap them in a clean towel and leave for several hours. Beat the towel lightly, lift out the lace, and shake It free from the starch. Press the picots Into shape and iron lightly on the wrong side.
