An unsightly sheen may appear on a woolen or wool-blend suit in areas of greatest friction of the fabric. You can remove it by steaming with a hot iron through a damp linen cloth. Immediately after steaming, before the fabric has cooled down, the shiny area is cleaned by lifting the pile of the fabric with a stiff brush.
To remove shine, you can also wipe the shiny area with a clean cloth soaked in gasoline, and then with water and ammonia, and then iron it with a hot iron through a thick cloth. After wiping with gasoline, rub very shiny clothes with dry, very fine table salt using a cloth or rubber sponge.
