To clean scarlet cloth

Dissolve the best white soap; and if black looking spots appear, rub dry soap on them; while the other soap is dissolving; with hot water, brush it off. If very dirty, immerse the article into the warm solution and rub the stained parts. Dispatch it quickly, and as soon as the colour begins to give wring it out, and immerse it in a pan or pail of warm water; wring it again, and immerse it in cold spring water, in which mix a table spoonfull of solution of tin. Stir it about, and in ten minutes hang it to dry in the shade, and cold press it.
