my name is geoffrey lynn i have a story to tell you my story is about fabric folks like you and that engrossed young couple over there that was a time not too long ago something like this happened well how would you feel indignant sick all over after all a ruined suit or a cleaning and pressing job is expensive but my how times have changed sir but only the mild annoyance that comes from knowing it will take less than an hour to wash and dry on before putting him right back on just think less than an hour that's a yes something besides the time has changed something quite important that's the real story when that begins over here in the bottom of the laundry basket of the average home of the average family for about six thousand years now give or take a couple we've faced the problem of covering our bodies with clothing first the fig leaf since then we relied pretty much on more sturdy natural fibers animal and vegetable yes since the stone age man a spend a lot of time seeking better materials for his clothes plus a good deal more towards finding easier and different always newer always better ways to get his clothing clean right up to as excellent wrinkle resistance good draping qualities really died a lot of design appeal yet no matter how we better our laundry methods through the years this little woolly lamb just won't carpenter washing through some wall items can be hand washed but even so that last growing as fast as crabgrass so that sweater shrank we all know will shrink like no other natural fiber so with will clothing it's either costly time consuming dry cleaning or we clean and president best we can with spot from over mattress the newspapers prevented the springs from leaving impression so our better washing method solved some of our washing problems we knew further progress might be found in something other than natural fibers for our clothes textile manufacturers clothing makers fabric designers all ask what can we find it's an improvement over wool or blends with what looks feels drapes fashions better than will and for that matter cotton linen and silk we americans go for that kind of challenge we said find something with all the good things of natural fibers and none of the drawbacks that's when the test two boys knuckle down to work so began years of research tireless work of many men of spending well let's not get into how much money to create the modern man made fibers for fabrics that we enjoy today day and night research chemists like this fellow pursue the dream of new exciting completely different synthetic find quite a dream quite a story if i get a little too technical will someone please ring a bell you see for the first time since creation men were going back to the elements to create a molecule i'll start over beginning with pure chemicals scientists researchers chemists stone only from the silk war militarily spawn new kinds of threats threats and fibers that had to measure up to all the desirable qualities of resilience that is to hold a return to original shape softness might weight your ability and resist to weather first slowly and with a speed almost too swift to follow the magic of modern chemistry rocket us into a new world of modern fabric press land dine out there from and many others including the new resin treated copy of all these however the big three soon proved to be nylon not only lightweight but plenty tough we married them with the age old natural fibers we raised a brand new family of fabrics greater strength resilience and you versatility more important these complementary plans meant that more and more clothing items could use all on women's attractive blouses and cher lingerie fashion from nylon as well as a combination of other synthetic and natural fibers all of these enjoy greater freedom from wrinkles many feature permanently set creases are fashionable pleats i was a done well let's go back to the laboratory you see all true synthetic fibers of thermoplastic sorry i'll try to make it simple it means heat simply soften the fibers so they can be molded and remolded this is remember the fibers are strong it's soft pliable resilient or elastic that's why if you're muslim up they tend to return to their original shape that's right wrinkles in modern fibers like to go back where they came from or as clothing makers say wrinkle resistance now when you wash modern fibers you actually help to banish wrinkles as the fabric seeks its original shape no why home or new wrinkles might appear he does the job of keeping the fabric free of wrinkles if and it's a mighty big if the fibers are not cooled off too quickly let's do an there's a temperature higher than i've mentioned so but i say we had problems in washing natural fibers believe me new methods and techniques had to be developed in the washing and drying modern fibers and delicate fabrics consider anwar stay people used by tradition hot water for their laundry and by tradition they like to agitate the dirt out so they know it's been agitated and when they use an automatic dry air they know that the hot of the temperature the faster the job gets done all this is enough to scare a modern fi half to death no wonder washing directions on clothing tags usually read hand wash in warm water and hang up to drip dry yes from a styling and comfort standpoint we reached new highs with modern fabrics but i washing methods modern as they were simply could not meet the particular washing needs of modern fibers almost seems like we were back to beating our clothes again with a paddle on a river bank well almost once we used to hang them up to drip dry a somewhat messy chore even in our bathrooms it wasn't long before some laundry manufacturers recognized that modern fabrics needed different care and soon new washers made their appearance some new automatics featured gentle cycles are offered a choice of shorter wash times others provided a warm wash water temperature if you had a cold war it's all tried to meet the new washing requirements of modern fabrics requirements which were to become even more exacting because the laboratories of science and the apparel industry suddenly catapulted us into the wonderful world of washington where modern fibers alone or in blends with natural fibers brought new innovations in cool crisp comfortable clothes everything from shorts and casual slacks aware then all weather wear suits and topcoats for men fashionable sweaters skirts and synthetic first for women even believe it or not tuxedoes modern fibers in fashionable weave babri soon accounted for one out of every three sales based on the increasing usage of washing where manufacturers are expecting to more than double today's output within the next two or three years for example they all turned out three million four hundred forty thousand suits five million five hundred thousand jackets thirteen  hundred thousand slacks and twenty one million nine hundred thousand business shirts a success story climaxed only buy modern apparel clearly associated with the words automatic but with the wrinkles gone small wonder it's called a limited care item but to give it even limited care requires certain basic musts knowing that will help you in buying washing where generally speaking these are warm wash water short washing cycle gentle agitation water cooled down gentle spinning cold rents right drying temperature and drying cool all but speaking specifically laundry research specialists asked what is wa short washed in water that wasn't hot enough where wrinkles especially around the belt line just couldn't return to their original position and disappear we call this losing that plastic memory this  be the lady's temperature went up a bit too and you saw the results actually watching temperatures should be over one hundred twenty degrees but always under one hundred forty five degrees and certainly drying temperatures should rarely be more than twenty degrees hotter remember a little experiment we found heat was very important not just to remove soil or to dry faster but because heat must remove all wear wrinkles without disturbing preset and what is gentle certainly not the bongo drum agitation that manhandled this delicate garment specifically washing wear must be laundered in water that is medium only long enough to remove soil gently at low education speed to protect delicate fibers and then one of that is cooled down gradually prior to rinsing this protects and sets the fibers so the wrangling is minimized during the rent must never be compressed while they are hot they should be rinsed in cold water gently spin dried at a low speed to extract most of the water for drying and avoid setting in wrinkles finally they should be tumble dried at the right temperature or with a proper cooling off period a tall order it most certainly is no wonder russian where makers tell you don't follow your automatics instructions to the letter assuming the washer can do the job with one automatic laundry pair you can and here in a world a truly miraculous washer and dryer each with its own special washing wear cycle each completely equipped to meet every exacting requirement of the most modern washing way of fabrics and just as important they provide the head of the family with all the care free advantages of completely automatic lint free laundry service everything is simplified with this color keyed control panel watch you just turn the automatic fabric guide to the modern fabrics used in washington where  bought compton's and blends reading across the fabric guide we automatically see the correct settings for every operation with every control color teed to the fabric guide she simply die else to color no guesswork no need to refer to complicated instruction books to achieve the best the safest the desired results according to the automatic fabric guide and remembering the basic must she selects the low education and spin speed she selects cold tap temperature rinse water and medium wash water temperature now she selects the special washing where cycle the four minutes wash time the only actual decision she makes is how much water to use and that simply depends on the size of our wash and wear load you can choose an infinite want to level for greatest economy and partial loads filled and we'll all close in well almost all in and with the water level recessed washing begin four minutes wash time apparently washed so gently and her favorite detergent at low agitation and by thorough balanced surgeon later washing action wash water temperature just right to get clothes sparkling and remove all we clothes this is equally true of this regular washer or the big capacity washer dryer combination where wash and wear get the same thorough gentle care while being exclusively washed with water not in  water after the washing agitation in the regular one your wash water is now gradually cooled down by cold water tempering while the clothes are still in suspension this cools the fibers avoids wrinkles that might occur during the drain out and during the spend cycle as close to receive the thorough called want to spin spray rinse is followed by the low agitation deep cold water rinse and then low speed part to choose the special washing where setting selected perhaps thirty minutes drying time depending on the load i believe this is where we came in
