If starched goods have been over-dampened, the starch is brought to the surface and a result is produced similar to that of careless starching. If linen is too dry it cannot be made smooth and free from wrinkles. If it is too wet, the process of ironing is laborious. It is said that irons that are to be used for starched garments should not be polished by rubbing them on salt or emery paper. A better method is to procure a good yellow pine board, free from all sand and dirt, and rub it with a hot iron until a hard coat of burned resin is produced. The board may be used for polishing the iron. The iron should occasionally be wiped with a piece of wax or paraffin and then with a clean cloth. Have ready and at hand: a flat, firm, unwarped ironing board or table, tightly covered with a blanket and clean sheet, securely fastened under- neath; clean irons; an iron stand, which may well consist of a clean brick; two pieces of old cloth for cleaning irons; a piece of paper folded several times for test- ing irons; a piece of beeswax or paraffin tied in a cloth, for keeping irons smooth; a bowl of water and a clean cloth for moistening parts dried by exposure to air.
