Soap Scraps Used to Shield Clothes in Wash
A local tip suggests saving soap scraps and placing them in small cloth sacks to melt during washing, preventing soap particles from sticking to garments. For linoleum repairs, cut a cloth patch larger than the crack, glue it, insert, weight, and seal with glue or sealing wax. Echo readers advised.
