Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 226, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 October 1917 — CLEAN IRONS SAVE CLOTHES [ARTICLE]

CLEAN IRONS SAVE CLOTHES

They Should Be Scoured With Finely Sifted foal Ashes and Occasionally Washed in Soapsuds. To remove rust from flatirons, rub the spots with emery paper, and If not successful then cover the spots with sweet oil and powdered quicklime, niiowfng this to remain on for several days. Sometimes clothes that have been painstakingly laundered In the 1 early stages are marred, if not quite ruined, because the flatirons are in an unclean condition. A good way to clean irons is to scour them with finely sifted coal ashes, and occasionally to wash them In strong soapsuds. When thoroughly cleaned rub with sweet oil and stand aside in a dry place for several days.
