Timely Hints
By RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent

This is the way to wash and dry
wool. To wash, or not to wash?
For most wool clothing, dry
cleaning is better than washing.
Hwever, many knit garments,
flannel and challies may be
washed satisfactorily at home.
And many a homemaker learns
to wash a blanket so it won't turn
out shrunk or boardy. The
warmth of a blanket depends We
ry largely upon the amount of
nap, so it's we'll worthwhile to
take care in the washing to hold
the fluffy softness.
For a comforter, dry-cleaning
is best. Washing is likely to
leave the filling lumpy and mat
ted.
Use lukeWarm soft water, and
mild soap. Hard water can be
softened with an ammonia or bo-
rax solution. Use cautiously or
you may add too much alkali for
the good of the wool. And, be
sure the water is lukewarm, for
you may shrink wool in one hot
or cold dip. Allow plenty of wa
ter, more than for most fabrics.
Dissolve mild soap in the wa
ter. Or use one of the soapless
oil washing materials such as are
sold for hair shampoos Make
generous suds before the wool
goes in.
Never soak wool. Wash by
hand, if you can. Squeeze suds
through fabric Rubbing shrinks
and hardens wool. If you use a
washing machine, don't crowd
wool articles and wash them
