Soap best for cotton rayon linen and cotton wool blends. colored cotton fades less with soapless washes but prints look soiled. Woolens launder well with detergents but food stains on baby wool should use soap. non soap compounds remove food stains less effectively.
Blending Dried Herbs For Best Flavor
Dried herbs are three or four times stronger than fresh and should be used with a light hand. Blend two to four milder flavors with one leading note, and avoid overpowering blends with multiple very strong herbs. Add delicate flavors late in long cooks and draw out aroma by adding herbs to fat.
