Check ColOr-Fa stnesS
Before Washing Quilts

You may have very lovely quilt,
but if the colors run, it may lose
much Of its beauty when Numbered.
Be certain to check this feature be-
fore attempting to wash it.
Quilts which are quite flat, and
well quilted that is. with small pat
termed stitching. will wash very
well, and they aren't too heavy to
handle
Use very lukewarm water and
mild suds for the laundering, Id
there are heavily solied parts Oh
the quilt. finger-ruo these with suds
before the all-over washing.
Handle very gently during both
washing and wringiug SO that the
quilting will not be disarranged
Rinse carefully. two or three times
to get out soap.
When hanging it is best to use
three or four lines because OF the
weight.

your particular blankets can be
washed, start the cleaning by spong-
ing or brushing the soil off the bind
ihgs. You'll need heavy, mild suds
made with tepid water.
If you know before hand where the
soil is heaviest, treating the binding
is easy. If the soil is not apparent
when the blanket is wet. try mark
ing the soiied spots with white or
colored basting thread.
The blanket is then ready for
the machine which has oeen filled
with tepid water 600 Fl Studs

You have probably cleaned or
washed and aired them several
times during their period of use,
but they need thorough cleaning
before storage. Unless they are inn
maculate and then properly stored,
you may find them damaged by
moths or other insects by the time
you're ready for them again.
Much OF the heavy bedding can
be Numbered at home. and thus
save you some expensive cleaning

the articles in question can be laun-
dered. and this you'll find on the
labels which came NTH the bedding
You'll have so much more success
at this laundering job if you pick
the ideal day for it! 1t should be

with other household tasks. If you
can finish the laundering in one day
and you can easily. if the work IS
properly routinized then the follow

Store Bedding Wen
To Prevent Moths

Once blankets. quilts and spreads
are clean. moth damage is cut
down great deal However. you
should also spray the blankets,
quilts and other bedding or sprinkle
them with crystals that deter moth
activity, especially if they have any
wool in them.
Large sheets OF brown wrapping
paper are good for storing before
boxing the bedding. If you prefer.
you might use the zippered plastic
bags which simplify the problem,
and can be reused time and again
With just wrapping or boxes, its
q good idea to label as to content,
