WASHING FLUID. 3
Mrs. Hardy, who gave me this receipt, and the foregoing instructions, is my sister-in-law, who has spent most of her life in a hotel, or a large boarding house, where much washing was to be done, and this is her favorite receipt after trying many others, and hence, from her practical knowledge and my own knowledge of the nature of the articles, I have every confidence it will prove satisfactory to all; still, as there are those who have tried other receipts, and think so much of them, I will give a few more.
2. Washing Fluid or Powder. —Sal-soda, 2 lbs.; borax, 1 lb.; salts of tartar, 2 ozs.; muriate of ammonia, 11/2 ozs.
Directions. I. For the Powder. —If it is to be used as a powder, pulverize all, and mix thoroughly, put into a large mouthed bottle and cork for use, and use one rounding tablespoonful in each boiler of clothes, and half as much for each additional boiler, and this same amount to a tub of clothes for soaking, to be well stirred in, in either case.
