The guide advises washing dirty flannels and woolens in soapy water without direct soap rubbing, then rinsing in lukewarm water to keep soft texture. It also suggests softening hard butter by warming a bowl with hot water and covering the dish briefly. Dust from books should be brushed with a feather rather than wiped with a cloth to protect bindings.
