One of the biggest challenges I find about wearing and selling vintage garments is finding a means of cleaning them properly without destroying them or spending a fortune in dry cleaning bills. Lucky for me, I recently stumbled across a 1959 version of Removing Stains from Fabrics, distributed by the US dept. of Agriculture...lucky for you, I'm going to share ;)
Unfortunately, I couldn't post the copy here on the blog because the pictures were too large, so I've posted it to my Pinterest account at this link or here at my flickr account. Enjoy!
Hugs and Smooches,

Oh, thanks for sharing. Can't wait to peek at this!!!

ReplyDeleteThe cleaning problem of vintage clothes is a very good reason to get more and more dresses. The more you have, the more seldom you wear each, and the more seldom you have to wash them! :) Wearing a slip - easy to wash - underneath the dresses is a good idea too, so you just need to wash the slip a bit more often.
