Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 27, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 January 1914 — Cleaning Formula. [ARTICLE]

Cleaning Formula.

• Grate raw potatoes to a fine pulp, add one pint of water to one pound of potato. Pass this liquor through a fine sieve and cloth. Let It remain In a vessel antil the fine white starch settles to the bottom, then pour off the clear liquor, which Is to be used for cleansing. For white silks add a little borax; for dresses and waists, dip a sponge In the liquor and apply It until the dirt is removed. Rinse in tepid water and iron on the wrong side. Light dresses and white cashmeres can be cleaned beautifully by this process.
