Jeri , The amount of information you share with us leaves me just amazed. I am working on reading through numerous books on lace as I get my hands on them. The information you share is priceless. Reading and learning about the different cultures and how they made lace and beautiful things is so important. As I watch the news and see the areas that currently are in conflict, I worry about the loss of the knowledge that may occur.

Re: [lace] Care of fabrics
Regarding time honored methods for dealing with stains, I was at a Thai restaurant and the waiter spilled some oily substance on my silk blouse. The restaurant staff felt terrible and the hostess ran to get some seltzer, which they applied to the spot, assuring me that all would be well. I wasn't terribly concerned about the blouse because it had been successfully dry cleaned in such cases before, but I let them put on the seltzer because it seemed to make them feel better. When I took the silk blouse to the cleaner he shook his head sadly saying that the oily spot would have been removable but the seltzer had ruined the blouse. The cleaner tried to get the seltzer spot out, but it remained. I had to throw the blouse away. I guess the lesson from this is, restaurant staff are not experts on stain removal. Of course, as restaurant staff their greater aim was to project the image that they had solved the problem they had created, so they got high marks for that. Costly for me, though.

Re: [lace] Care of fabrics
Hi fellow Arachnids, When we were on holiday in Australia -many years ago- the stewardess on the coach we travelled in some of the way certainly used eucalyptus oil to clean the upholstery. It even cleaned off the chocolate that one person ground into the plush (moquette?) material. However, I would not like to use it on any of my lace! Talcum powder takes grease out of material. I have even used it a couple of times on my hair (sprinkle a small amount on, rub in gently and brush out thoroughly) when it had been impossible to wash it when it needed it. I still washed my hair as soon as possible after as I hate dirty hair. Although it would remove some of the grease out of the lace it would not clean it and might/will leave an undesirable residue. Happy lace making. Joepie, in East Sussex where we are having a brilliant spring day. Subject: [lace] Care of fabrics I too remember the bran treatment for tweeds and upholstery! I also know that talcum powder (powdered magnesium silicate) was recommended to clean lace and other delicate fabrics. I am sure that I have heard that recommendation a lot more recently than the 1940's. I believe it is also recommended to clean soft toys which cannot be washed, such as old teddy bears. I have never heard of the oil of eucalyptus treatment for silk, and cannot imagine it being used.

Re: [lace] Care of fabrics - 1940s style
Thank you for sharing that; I love reading old housewifery advice. My favourite snippet from a book I have is that after washing your blankets you should go out onto the green with a neighbour to give the blankets a good shake. This appeals to me for two reasons: firstly the idea that we all have a green to go out to is lovely, and secondly I really like the concept for sharing housework with neighbours. Work at home always goes better when I share tasks with my daughter. Halves the time and the company is good.

In the 1940's, I had a "best" dress made from my mother's wedding dress, which was dark beige silk - and that was washed by hand. I wish I had that dress now - it was lovely!
