Semi-Annual Meetings Held Soak 'Em Soak, Spin, Rinse Method Found Best for Laundering Blankets By MAXINE BUR EN Statesman Woman's Editor Some have to learn the hard way, but once we have our lesson, we remember. Our own latest course in hard knocks came recently when we inadvertantly included a perfectly good sweater with the clothes put into the automatic washer. It came out a perfect miniature of its former self. Woolens don't like hot water, neither do they favor agitation. Though sweaters and other woolen garments are launder ed throughout the year, this is the season when many women get a yen to wash their blankets. SCIENTISTS' WAY Scientists have been working on home laundering of blan kets recently, and have come up with some pointers. Soak, spin and rinse is the new order in washing the woolens. A method supposed to minimize shrinkage by eliminating the agi tation cycle of the automatic washer. If a dryer is used the method also cushions the tumbling action. Controlled detergent suds, as developed by the research chemists, is said to float out the soil during soaking period, and permit rinsing without distorting the shape of the material. Here's how the new method works: Before placing the blanket (one only in the washer, shake well and remove soil with a hand brushing and solution of 1 teaspoon detergent (recommended for woolens) in cup of warm water. WARM WATER Set control dial on automatic washer to "warm" and allow washer to fill. Add cup detergent and allow to dissolve by operating washer for a little less than a minute. Turn off ma chine. Place blanket in washer and let soak, unagitated, for 10 to 15 minutes. Turn over once or twice by hand but do not oper ate machine. Advance control to extract soiled water. When water is ex tracted, advance dial again to rinse. As soon as washer is filled with warm rinse water, stop machine immediately. Allow blan ket to soak again, this time 4 to 5 minutes. Advance dial to re move rinse water a second time. Stop machine again immedi ately upon being filled. Allow blanket to soak again for 4 to 5 minutes. Advance to remove second rinse water. Blanket may be turned by hand several times during rinse-soak period. L'sing the automatic dryer. Preheat on high for at least 5 minutes, place 6 or 7 large bath towels in dryer, to buffer tumbling action. They keep folds of blanket from rubbing to gether and reduce felting action. At the end of preheat period, place blanket in dryer and begin drying, which will take 15 minutes. Remove from dryer while blanket retains some mois ture. LINE DRYING If you do not have an automatic dryer, follow these direc tions: Place blanket across two lines with weight squally divid ed. Pull evenly on two hems, working from side to side. Pull enough so blanket is well stretched best with two persons do ing shaping i. During drying, change position of blanket, gent ly straightening and pulling into shape Be careful not to dis tort shape Stretch blanket and allow to complete drying in the air. Always use two lines Brush well with clean clothes brush to bring up nap. Press bindings with steam or dry, warm iron The semi-annual meeting of the Santiam Area Girl Scout Council was held Thursday at the Liberty School in Albany.
