WARNED
NOT TO DRY CLEAN

The wartime shortage OF dry
cleaning and laundering services
and nigh prices for theA services
have inspired many lo'nemakers To
try to do their own dry cleaning AT
home Mrs. Helen Mckinley. assis-
tant director and clothing special
ist for the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service, advises Della
ware h0memakers to heed the
warning OF USDA safety and health
advisers that many persons have
been fatally burned or disii2urcd
while cleaning garments at home.
So the best answer on now to dry
clean is Don't" unless you are
cautious. Garments may still be
CRY cleaned more efficiently and
and safely by dry cleaning estab-
liShments.
However. those who still feel
they can do this work succe bShllly
at home should keep the fOliaH ing
rules in mind:
l. Use only a nOn-flammabld
lluid. There are many good nom
iiammable cleaning fluids on the
market but remember that cleant
ing fluid may be marked "nOn~cX-
rlosiye" and still be flammablc.
Never, under any circumstances.
use gasoline. natha, or kerosene for
garment cleaning purposes.
,. Keep the hands out of the
fluid by using a suction washer es-
pecially if the skin is sensitive.
D. Do the cleaning tW side of the
house where all toxic and other
Vapors will be carried off in the
open an
I. Dry garments outdoors.
;. Keep childlen and pets away
Many hOmC"akerS have dis
covered that they can wash sue
Ccssfully many garments formerly
sent out for dry cleaning. Use mild
s0apsuds and lukewarm water fol
both washing and rinsing. Squeeze
instead of rubbing and wringing
! Roll in thick bath towel to -
move excess moisture rapidly
: Press with a warm but not hot iroI
when almost dry.
