WOMAN'S WORLD Clean Blankets and Spreads At Home Before Storing Away By Ertta Haley

■pvOFS IT SFFM like time to change to lighter-weight bed ding right about this time’’ Perhaps some of the woolen blankets, com forters and quilts have earned their va'cation. having served through cold weather. You have probably cleaned or washed and aired them several times during their period of use, but they need a thorough cleaning before storage. Unless they are im maculate and then property stored, you may find them damaged by moths or other insects by the time you're ready for th^m again. Much of the heavy bedding can be laundered at home, and thus save you some expensive cleaning bills. You should know, however, if the articles in question can be laun dered, and this you’ll find on the labels which came with the bedding. ( You'll have so much more success at this laundering job if you pick the ideal day for it' It should be warm, breezy and not too crowded with other household tasks. If you . can finish the laundering in one day. and you can easily, if the w rl; is properly routinized, then the follow ing day can be used to pack prop-' erlv for storage. It’s almost essential to have a washing machine for blanket clean- j . ng. If that’s not possible, press someone into service to help you | lift the blankets, as they are heavy when soaked with water. Good. ; strong lines for drying are also es- ; sential. Check them for durability before hanging bedding. To complete the laundering, an iron or a steam iron will give the blankets an excellent finish. A whCkbroom with stiff bri ties is

l ie tun linei tor drying bedding . . another aid which you’ll ward, as it ' can be used to raise '.ho nap on the blanket. Brush Soiled Bindings Before Washing Blanket After you’ve checked on the man- j ufacturer's advice as to whether your particular blankets can be washed, start the cleaning by spong- ; ing or brushing tile soil off the bind- : ings. You'll need heavy, mild i- , made with tepid water. If you know before hand where the . soil is heaviest, treating the binding is easy. If the soil is not apparent when the blanket is wet. try mark ing the soiled spots with a white or , colored basting thread. The blanket is then ready for the machine which has been filled with tepid water (100 F.>. Suds should be fairly heavy, made with a mild soap or detergent. Soften the water if it's hard. Three minutes washing action is prescribed for the average blanket. If heavily soiled, wash again, but use clean water and suds the sec ond time.

Brush nap to restart finish. Support the blanket with both hands when it's lifted from the water. If you are using a wringer, set the rolls as loosdlv as possible, since there should not be too much pressure exerted on the blanket when wet. The woolen fibers, in blankets or clothing, are weakened w'ith water, and must be treated gently. Use tepid water for rinsing. If de sired, rinse in the machine, for three minutes. Never twist or wring the blanket roughly. Extract the water again. Support Blankets During Drying Even with the water wr • s out of the blanket, it will til. be quite heavy, as you have me c\ ted a great deal of pre. < wring ing. For this rea jt is best to use two lines in banging to dry, preferably in the shade, as too much i.i at w ill also weaken woolen fibers. Handle the blanket with the bind ings down, then stretch carefully to iron the edges, and you’ll have iittlc pre.-.-ing to do when the blank et is dry If hung inside to dry, use two lines, as you would doing it out side, but make certain it is away DILLWYN, Kt. 3 Guests in the home of Mr. and. j Mrs. J. J. Stinson, Sunday, were j Mrs. Walter Cox, Mr. and Mrs. Junior Cox and son, Kenneth. Mrs. George Sheffield and Linda Gail, also Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Poston, all of Farmville. Mr. Pos- j

Fashionable Stitching ;

Organdy and warmer weather go hand ill hand when they're teamed yvitli some of the newest thing available in stitching. Here is a beige organdy dress, iced with rich brown flowers and worn over a heige faille taffel.t petticoat. This can be achicy cd on your sewing machine with a particularly loose tension and no special attachment, a spark stitch giving the flowers their frothy look. Your local sewing center can give hemstitching ser\ice it you luye the hemline piloted. ironi radiators or direct heat of \ kind, like hot water pipes. When partly dry. turn '.he blnnki t carefully, and let it be exposed ' tile air on the other side fur fa n r drying. After blanket ha; dti( i. u . fairly stiff-bi istled whisl; nroom an > brush the blanket to bring up th.e nap. Blankets have a profession: In cleaned look when the binding:-- a pressed. A steam iron ns good n use, or ever, a regular .run With th< latter, you'll have to dampen the binding slightly, bv pressing a damp cloth. In cithei case. : the temperature control ! ir wa. . er rayon. Give New Freshness To Bedspreads If bedspreads are of the washuM type, give then, much the .rue laundering treatment as you v. ntn;; blankets. Tepid water, mild :: and thia-e ndniite wa.-h ng ara i> ommended. For the heavier types of iprenus. two line:- are recommended for dr\ mg, and a fan may be in-ed to sp.-.-d the proces. Fo: cotton spreads. . . line will ttffiee, and. 1 rpr. : may be folded in half with the fold at the bottom, and both ends oyer lapping on the line, pinned on each ride and once in the middle. Chenille and randlcwick spreads should be shaken several tinu while drying, and then hr . he : lightly when dry. In most eases, if chenille nr ! candU-wiek spreads are shaken thoroughly when they are dry - then brushed, little else will be pc. - ;ed. Since they do not take to a dry iron. it IS .>o-1 to tire steam. Lay t. ■ spread on your bed and hold a team iron about 'z inch noov tb blanket, going over the entir. : face. After this, brush to raise the nap. In the case of eilk and rayon spreads, these are best ironed when placed on a table, padded yvi-li a cotton blanket or table pad covered with a sheet. In tins way you can ir in a big surface without turning. Fringe on spreads is best treat ed with brushing, or even combing with a large toothed comb.

Check Color-Fastness Before Washing Quilts You may have a very lovely quilt, but if tlie colors run, it may locr much of its beauty when laundered. Be certain to check this feature be fore attempting to wash it Quilts which, are quite flat, anti well quilted, that is. with smali pat terned stitching, will wash very well, and they aren’t too heavy to handle. Use very lukewarm water anti mild suds for the laundering. It there are heavily soiled parts on the quilt, finger-rub these with subs before the all-over washing. Handle very gently during both washing and wringing so that the quilting will not be disarranged Rinse carefully, two or three times to get out soap. When hanging it is best to use three or four lines because of the weight. Store Bedding Well To Prevent Moths Once blankets, quilts and spreads are clean, moth damage is cut down a great deal. However, you should also spray the blankets, quilts and other bedding or sprinkle them with crystals that deter moth activity, especially if they have any wool in them. Large sheets of brown wrapping paper are good for storing before boxing the bedding. If you prefer, you might use the zippered plastic bags which simplify the problem, and can be reused time and again. With just wrapping or boxes, it’s a good idea to label as to content, just in case you want them out be fore the season is up.
