This advice seems better calculated to ruin your clothes than preserve them. Do you suppose they had young men who were serving their country on the home front writing these? Or, perhaps it was a make work project to keep the country invested in the war effort. I read somewhere that the metal collection in the US was more about controlling morale at home than any real useful function. Were people in Britain patriotically rubbing eucalyptus into silk to do their bit? And why weren't they sending their silk to the RAF for parachutes, anyway?
