How to Starch with Linit
The secret of perfect starching is the restoration of the original texture of the fabric. Linit has the peculiar property of uniting with the fabric. It does not clog the dainty weave.
Before washing new linen, carefully examine it. Know the quality you are trying to retain. Many articles need only a trace of Linit-other articles-like mercerized damask, linen, etc., need more; if carefully ironed while very damp, they will have the sheen of real linen.
Laces and embroideries need enough Linit to give back their newness. Experience will soon determine the exact amounts your napery demands.
