Keep Cottons Fresh

Keep your cotton clothing fresh.
That's the good grooming tip from
Miss Iva Byrd Johnson, clothing
specialist at VPI. She says in general
cotton washes easily. Wash as soon
as possible after soiling, as soil,
stains and perspiration can be re-
moved more easily when washed
promptly.
Use milk soaps OF detergents on
light, delicate cottons. Heavy duty
laundry soaps and detergents are for,
the rugged cottons. Wash dark and
bright colors separately-at least
the first time-using warm soapsuds.
Flush away any excess dye with
several suds and rinses. Dark and
bright colors are clear when washed
alone. Lint from lighter articles
clings and shows on dark colors.
Use bleach with care and only
when needed. Cbkordne bleaches
form strong acids and should al
ways be well rinsed from the fabric
Dilute bleaches according to in
structions on the package. Store
cottons fully dry in a dry place, or
you may have trouble with mildew.
