Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 255, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 October 1912 — To Clean Feathers. [ARTICLE]

To Clean Feathers.

Where one person succeeds in cleaning feathers a dozen fail. Some people wash them with soap and water, and shake them over the fire until they resume their curl, but the process is tiring and needs patience. If. your feathers are not very dirty, put a cupful of flour in a paper bag with three tablespoonfuls of borax and shake about till well mixed, and then put the feathers in the bag and shake until they are thoroughly clean.
