Washing Woolens the Simple Method for Clean Garments
The article outlines practical home laundering for undyed woolens using soap jelly, ammonia, and a multi-step wash. It emphasizes quick washing, careful handling to avoid shrinkage, wringing between steps, and controlled drying away from direct sun to keep wool soft and maintain shape.

Never use ammonia on colored material. Use tepid water for washing and rinsing. Avoid too much soap as it hardens and discolors. Wash one garment at a time to prevent woolens shrinking when wet.
