' The News-Review, Rosegurg, 1, Btgtn by ironing tht from tha top of the cuff. Call Modern Ironer Great The originator of the proverb, "hard work never hurt anybody. could not have been the one who did the family ironing by hand. Anyone who had this chore to perform knows what a "back breaker" it literally is, and there are scientific studies to support this belief. No wonder the arrival of auto matic ironers was hailed by house wives everywhere as a "great emancipator." Consider the lime saving. Where ironing by hand requires hours to do. you can do shirts with an au tomatic ironer at the rate of one in four minutes. And while the woman who docs the ironing for a family of four by hand docs four tons of lifting Laundry No Problem For Smart St. Nicks So your wife has just gone out to do some Christmas shopping and she left you with the family wash? That's no problem at all. Here are a few tips on doing the laundry the way your wife does it. First, sort the laundry into piles of white, colored and man-made fiber garments (your Dacron slacks, for instance). The manu facturer's label should tell you the construction of the garment. Set aside the clothing that have dark colors that are apt to fade, (iive these a separate wash, for they might fade or spot other gar ments. Brush Uie sand, grass and dirt that may have accumulated out of the trouscr pockets and cuffs, and apply some detergent di rectly to all badly soiled or grease slained areas. Close the zippers on all the clothes. First Things First Wash the white clothes first, and keep the water hot. White clothes of natural fibers can stand tho hottest water. For bleaching, follow directions on the package to obtain the prop er amount. Add the blench to the water and allow the machine to agitate for a full minute. Use a measuring cup and fol low the directions on the box or bottle when adding detergent. Re member that too many suds cut down Uie washing action. When loading the machine, place about nine pounds of clothes in the machine (if the washer is standard size), or load tho mach ine until the loosely folded clothei come within two inches of the tip of the agitator basket. Large pieces should be mixed with smaller items, rather than be washed together. After tho white things arc washed, the light colored items have their turn. If your machine is equipped with a suds-saving de vice you can use the same water. or if fresh water is drawn, turn the water temperature down to "warm." i The next load will contain more j heavily soiled cottons. Use clean, ' hoi water. When you do the synthetic fib-: ers, if you have an automatic machine, set the wash tempera-1 tore al "cold" and the agitation and spin speeds al "slow" or ' "synthetic fabrics" setting. Sepa-, rate colors. Put clothes in washer and let it run its complete cycle, i Follow Dirtctions Follow clirrctious un Match package as to amount. Pour the slareh in the machine and let it mix with the waler before putting in the clothes. After the load is removed, wine the agitator bas ket with a clean cloth to remove excess starch. As each load of clothes comes from the automatic washer load it into the dryer. For loads of heavy sheets and pillow cases, set the dryer temperature on ' high'' with the time at :ts to 45 minutes, de pending on the size of the load. Cotton sport shirts ami children's play clothes should be dried at "medium" settings, with a time of 15 lo 25 minutes. For synthetics, set Ihe dryer temperature on '"low" and the time control dial at from five to 10 minutes. If the load is small, use the vitu'rp in flmilil tihfint Ihe lime vol. ! I ting, tiso a shorter, ralher than a longer, period of tune, t'lolhes that stay in the dryer too long have a stiff, scnilchy feel when first taken out. "Overdrying" de stroys the natural moisture pres. enl in all fabrics and, besides j spoiling tho appearance and feel I of the fabric, hastens dcteiiora. t iiii Handle with Care Synthetic fabrics require Steeial handling. U washed 111 cold water and dried in the proper amount of time they will require a mini, mum, if any, ironing Too much heal, either 111 the warier or dry er, causes wrinkles to set. Wash ing in cold water with the proper amount of agitation followed by low dryer heat or warm sun shine, causes wrinkles to pop out and leave clothes looking Iresh. That's il. mister.
