A wise homemaker in these days
will get slip-cover material that is
washable, for the fresh clean look
of a slip-cover enhances it's appeal.
She will also follow suit in color
fast bindings, thread and Innings.
She will read labels to know what
is pre-shrunk and color-fast. When
she does launder her slip-covers,
she will be happier if she knows a
few basic rules.
Vacuum thoroughly first, espec-
tally around seams and bindings,
baste pleats in place, close zippers,
wash only one large piece at time.
If arms or back are heavily soiled,
rub first with a soap jelly. Wash in
medium warm water using mild
soap or detergent, rinse we'll.
Use a thin starch for cotton slip
covers. Put covers back on furniture
as soon as possible after ironing to
retain their fit.
Even with good manners and
careful service dining room rug is
due for various stains. Try clear,
lukewarm water first on the stain,
sponge it into the rug. If this does
not do the trick, add a little soap
or deterrent to the lukewarm wat
er-work it lightly to avoid a too
clean spot. Or, try regular clean
ing fluid with a light touch.
