To Brighten Carpets

Dissolve a handful of alum in a pail of water, dip your broom in, shaking it well, and sweep a small space. Then re-dip the broom, and sweep as before, until you have gone over the whole carpet. You cannot imagine how it will renew the colors in the carpet, especially green. -HOUSEKEEPER.
