Cleaning Antique Linens

If you have beautiful antique treasures, whether it is lace or linens, this recipe is GREAT for removing yellowing and stains. You'll need a glass bowl, or new plastic bucket. Take about a 1/2 cup of Biz for the small glass bowl or 2 cups for the bucket and then add water. It doesn't matter whether you use warm or cold water. I wouldn't use hot water, because sometimes the laces and fabrics may be very fragile. Stir the BIZ and water thoroughly and then add your fabric. Let this soak for a couple of hours, checking on it periodically. If the stains are really bad you may leave the fabric to soak for a while longer. Just remember to keep checking periodically. Then just "hand" rinse the garment until all the BIZ is removed and hang to dry. You will be amazed how white your treasures will be!

Quick Pick Up!

This is a wonderful tip for those of you who love beading work. If you (or your child) accidentally knocks your beads to your carpeted floor, rather than trying to pick them all up, try using the hose end of your vacuum cleaner, but FIRST take pantyhose and hold or rubberband securely in place over the open end of the hose. Turn vacuum on and suck up the beads, hold over your container and turn off the vacuum cleaner. Repeat as necessary. This works well for many other small items, also.
