t!ood Laundering Practices

Because there are so many types of fabrics and fibers these days it is necessary to sort clothes carefully before washing. Sort according to; type of fabric, color - fastness, and degree of soil. Group together in separate washloads items that require the same water temperature washing time, same type of de tergent, and tfeose with the same degree of soil. Some typical sorted groups are; white cottons and linens, work and play clothes (denin\ twill, cloth khaki), color-fast cottons and linens, delicate fabrics, wash and wear items and washable woolens. Wash alone fabrics that pick up color easily, such as white and light nylons. As a rule, fabrics that have been washed together can be put in the dry er together. Thus, when you sort for washing you are actually sorting for drying as well. Best results in both washing and drying are obtain ed when the fabrics are similar.

Turn down cuffs of trouser^ shirts and dresses and brush off dirt and lint. Empty and brush pockets, close zippers, fasten hooks, tie apron strings loosely, and remove unwashable trimming and buttons. Next you should remove stains. Many stains are easily removed when fresh, but become set when exposed to hot water. Then, to loosen ground in soil or a stubborn mixture of dirt and oils, rub or brush thick detergent suds on the inside of collars and cuffs and the knees and seats of children’s pants and play clothes* Allow to ‘set* for about 10 minutes before laundering.
