It is one of the best of articles for cleaning the hairbrush.. Use one teaspoonful to one quart of water. TURPENTINE. Turpentine should not be used in hot water if the hands are to be put into it, as the turpentine, when heated, is readily absorbed and, with some people would result in injury to the hands. It may, however, be used in cold water with perfect safety or to advantage in the soaking tub when cold water is used. It may be used in the soaking tub in hot water, if the hands are kept out of it; in which case the results upon the clothing are excellent. SALT. All articles having a color that may likely be injured in the washing, should be soaked in a strong solution of salt water. Use from three to five heaping teaspoonfuls of salt to each quart of water, and soak for ten minutes, then wash in the usual amount of soapy water and rinse, taking care to have the last rinsing water well salted.

Download or read book Sanitary Laundering Classic Reprint written by Tudor C. Josselyn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sanitary Laundering The object in writing these few pages has been two fold; first, to awaken in the consciousness of those who may read them a realization of the dangers in which they are daily living in their liability of contracting some one of the many forms of disease that may be brought to their homes from some laundry; and second, to put into simple and easy language a means of know ing how to best treat and clean all kinds of washable fabrics, and if possible, to offer a better method for do ing laundry work by actual measurements of all chemical substances that are used and that too, without injury to the clothing while being put through the wash. The criterion by which the purity of clothing has been judged, and is judged, is that of whiteness, never realizing that from within that bundle of white ness may be hidden the seeds of disease, sickness and death. Visiting more than a thousand homes it was found that ignorance was the key to the real situation in re gard to the possibility of a laundry being a disease breeding and disease lurking place; and, nowhere was responsibility to be laid, therefore the necessity of each individual home becoming a law unto itself and there by change their method of laundry procedure from that which now prevails.

Download or read book The Clean Body written by Peter Ward and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How often did our ancestors bathe? How often did they wash their clothes and change them? What did they understand cleanliness to be? Why have our hygienic habits changed so dramatically over time? In short, how have we come to be so clean? The Clean Body explores one of the most fundamental and pervasive cultural changes in Western history since the seventeenth century: the personal hygiene revolution. In the age of Louis XIV bathing was rare and hygiene was mainly a matter of wearing clean underclothes. By the late twentieth century frequent – often daily – bathing had become the norm and wearing freshly laundered clothing the general practice. Cleanliness, once simply a requirement for good health, became an essential element of beauty. Beneath this transformation lay a sea change in understandings, motives, ideologies, technologies, and practices, all of which shaped popular habits over time. Peter Ward explains that what began as an urban bourgeois phenomenon in the later eighteenth century became a universal condition by the end of the twentieth, touching young and old, rich and poor, city dwellers and country residents alike. Based on a wealth of sources in English, French, German, and Italian, The Clean Body surveys the great hygienic transformation that took place across Europe and North America over the course of four centuries.

Download or read book The Dirt on Clean written by Katherine Ashenburg and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spirited chronicle of the West's ambivalent relationship with dirt The question of cleanliness is one every age and culture has answered with confidence. For the first-century Roman, being clean meant a two-hour soak in baths of various temperatures, scraping the body with a miniature rake, and a final application of oil. For the aristocratic Frenchman in the seventeenth century, it meant changing your shirt once a day and perhaps going so far as to dip your hands in some water. Did Napoleon know something we didn't when he wrote Josephine "I will return in five days. Stop washing"? And why is the German term Warmduscher—a man who washes in warm or hot water—invariably a slight against his masculinity? Katherine Ashenburg takes on such fascinating questions as these in Dirt on Clean, her charming tour of attitudes to hygiene through time. What could be more routine than taking up soap and water and washing yourself? And yet cleanliness, or the lack of it, is intimately connected to ideas as large as spirituality and sexuality, and historical events that include plagues, the Civil War, and the discovery of germs. An engrossing fusion of erudition and anecdote, Dirt on Clean considers the bizarre prescriptions of history's doctors, the hygienic peccadilloes of great authors, and the historic twists and turns that have brought us to a place Ashenburg considers hedonistic yet oversanitized.

Download or read book Clean written by Katherine Ashenburg and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I return to Paris in five days. Stop washing.' So wrote Napoleon to Josephine in an age when body odour was considered an aphrodisiac. In stark contrast, the Romans used to bath for hours each day. Ashenburg's investigation of history's ambivalence towards personal hygiene takes her through plague-ridden streets, hospitals and battlefields. From the bizarre prescriptions of doctors to the eccentricities of famous bathers, she presents us with all the twists and turns that have led us to our own, arbitrary notion of 'clean'.
