Since we've been discussing the
new fabrics in the club meetings
this month, I've been searching for
additional information and hints
concerning the use and care OF
synthetics.
Nylon is becoming more and
more popular for the home. 1t
now can be purchased for the reg
ular carpeting prices. We can ex-
pect extra wear life from nylon
carpeting because it is tough fl
Der. 1t doesn't attract moths, car
pet beetles and is not weakened
by mildew. And it's easily cleaned
because of the rounded fibers.
If you are buying blend of
nylon and rayon for your carpet,
more than so per cent nylon with
rayon should be used in order to
obtain the significant benefits
from nylon's residence and clean
ability. Blends of ten to 20 per
cent nylon with rayon are essen
TALLY rayon. The same is true fol-
blends of nylon and wool.
Here are some suggestions for
laundering your synthetics. White
fabrics of the man-made fibers
must be washed separately since
they attract color from other gar
ments, even colorfast ones. Sepa-
rate treatment is necessary also
! if these white fabrics are dried in
the dryer. Use a short wash cycle
for fabrics of man-made fibers,
two to four minutes. Pleated skirts
and dresses hold the pleats better
when drip dried. The weight of the
water helps to reshape the pleats,
Pleats are usually labeled durable
rather than permanent. They may
have to be repleated after four OF
five washings.
Resin finishes used on polished
and embossed cottons, on cottons
and rayon for wrinkle and spot
resistance, on cottons, rayons, ace
tates, and woolens for water repel-
lence, and on woven and knitted
cottons for shrinkage control fire.
quently turn yellow if chlorine
bleach is used. Perborate bleach
may be used with safety.
Special stains and heavily soiled
areas should be pretreated by
brushing with a jelly of cold water
and detergent. Never wiring OF
twist fabrics of nylon, Orion, Dac-
ron; wrinkles may be permanently
set. Use warm water, not over 12O
degrees fahrenheit, and short
washing action on fabrics with
special finishes, some of which are
not permanent, unless the garment

washable" Wrinkle-resistant fin

ished fabrics need gentle handling
because the loss of elasticity makes
the fibers more brittle and less
sturdy.
Wondering What's New? It's
instant cake. New market posi-
bilities in the refrigerated and
frozen food lines have been opened
by a baking powder ingredient
that doesn't act until the cake is
in the oven. Formerly, baking pow
ders started their rising action as
soon as the liquid was added. With
the new powder, it should be pos
sible to develop fool-proof instant
cake" already in the pan, which
you have only to pop in the oven
and bake.
No matter what you are buying,
Read The Labels. You don't have
to buy a "pig in a poke, the labels
will tell you what's inside. Fed
eral laws require that certain in
formation be given with every item
sold, so remember to take advan-
tage of this.
