It must be first ascertained whether the garment to be cleaned is liable to shrink, and also whether its colour is fast. Small paint or grease spots may be removed by rubbing with a rag on which a little benzine lias been poured. Grease marks may often be removed by putting a piece of blotting-paper under a warm iron and pressing. Trousers of a light woollen nature, if soiled to any extent, are best washed in warm water, and dried in the open air. They should not be scrubbed or wrung out. Garments of a dark colour and all black cloths should be cleaned with a, solution of liquid ammonia, about two teaspoonfuls of the latter to a pint of tepid water: if the water is too hot, the ammonia will evaporate quickly, and the cleaning power of the solution thus decrease. A brush should be used and the garment rubbed from top to bottom, not crosswise but with the warp of the material. After the garment is cleaned it should be ironed and pressed.
