HOW TO STEAM CLEAN.
To steam clean coats, vests, trousers, overcoats, ladies jackets and skirts and all wool garments:
Place each garment in a basin of warm water first, and with soap and a brush go over the entire garment thoroughly, including sleeve lining.
Second—pour water off and fill basin again with warmer water than at first, and wash with stiff brush and soap as before, using three waters or until garment is thoroughly cleaned.
Remove soap water (do not wring garments but allow to drip, or squeeze water out) and rinse in hot water, then warm, then cooler, and so on until cold, adding one tablespoonful of coarse salt. (Dissolve salt in cold water before placing in basin). This will prevent garment from shrinking. Place on hanger to retain their shape, allowing water to drip out. Straighten out wrinkles as much as possible when drying, thus making the pressing easier, and when thoroughly dry, proceed to press as explained. If any spots remain after this process, remove with ammonia.
For those who perspire under the arms freely, dress shields placed in the bottom of the arm holes of coats will be of great benefit.
