SHRINKING

For shrinking orlon and nylon sweaters, wash and | eS in a dryer on
nigh and they return to normal size.

SILVER

Wrap seldom used pieces of silver or coins in aluminum foil and they
won’t tarnish.

To prevent silver from tarnishing, keep a piece of alum in the silverware
drawer. A slice of camphor will also help.

When silver becomes dull, rub it with a piece of potato dipped in baking
soda.

Silver should always be washed and cleaned in hot soapy water, then
thoroughly rinsed in clear hot water and wiped dry. Great care must be
taken not to scratch the surface.

If silver, after it is cleaned, is rubbed with a piece of lemon and then
washed and well dried, it acquires an extra brilliancy, and it will keep
clean longer than with ordinary cleansing.

A dry cork will remove stains from silver more quickly than anything else,
and it never scratches.

When cleaning silverware give final polish with a pad made of old nylon
stockings, to give it a gleaming finish.

To remove tarnish from silverware place the items in an aluminum pan,
fill with boiling water and add a heaping teaspoon of baking soda. Let
stand 10 minutes. Remove and rinse.
