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
