Lux promotes careful laundering of fine laces chiffons and silks. It claims to cleanse gently with pure flakes that melt in hot water making silk table linens and woolens sparkle without damage.
The Lux home washing guide outlines using two tablespoonfuls per gallon of water to create a hot lather, then cooling to lukewarm before washing. It advises gentle agitation without rubbing, repeated rinses in three waters, squeezing not wringing, shade drying, and ironing warm not hot. It covers silks, Georgette, collars, cuffs, and sweaters with specific temperatures and steps.
Wash little woolens like new using Lux. Dissolve two tablespoons in a bowl of water, use boiling or very hot water to make a thick lather, then add cold water for lukewarm suds. Soak garments, squeeze through suds, do not run. Rinse three times in tepid water, dissolve a little Lux in the final rinse, squeeze out water, do not twist, dry at moderate temperature and press with a warm iron.
