<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 12855, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> Just a note to cloth napkin users. The secret is to extreme heavy starch them. I used "vintage" napkins for dinner parties and removing stains was a problem. A very nice elderly Chinese woman told me to soak them in heavy starch. I started to do that and even lipstick stains just washed right out. After they soaked, I spread them out flat on my old enamel top table to dry. That way I had no ironing, just folded them. Geesch I hate getting old, dinner parties are in the past. I still have two or three a year used to do that many in a week.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie22" alt=":bigtears:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
