Clothing care tips keep you looking good after the honeymoon
Once the honeymoon is over and the
newlyweds get back to normal living, keep-
ing up a new relationship, an apartment and
one's self — all at the same time can be
tedious business. Although new relation-
ships and apartments require a cooperative
effort, keeping one's self looking good is
.strictly a personal responsibility_...
One personal grooming (and briding! )
problem that needs daily attention is
clothing care. Whenit comes to cleaning
clothing, two cannot live as cheaply -as one.
In fact, clothing care is one of those costs
which simply doubles when two become one.
Here, then, for the newlyweds are some
easy, economical and ,useful ways to keep
clothing lookinggood forever after:
• Solutions which contain alcohol, such as
deodorants, lotions and perfume, can upset
the dyes in delicate fabrics and cause stains.
Always allow these solutions to dry before
dressing.
• Perspiration can leave a permanent •
yellow discoloration and objectionable odor
if a garment is worn repeatedly. Launder
perspiration -stained blouses, shirts and
sweaters as soon as possible in cold -water
wash.
• Use a lint Pic -up roller, made of a safe,
durable, . pressure -sensitive tape to rid
clothing of lint. A stiff brush can remove nap
from natural.. fibers' arid diminish the look
and life of the garment. •
• Don't press stained or soiled clothing.
The heat will set the stains and the pressure
quality and originality
at reasonable rates
will force soil deeper into the fibers and
damage the clothing.
• Remove woolen pills (tiny balls which
form on surface) from sweaters, hats,
scarves and gloves with,a clothing brush.
• "Down" items can be laundered at
home, but need lots of space in the washer.
They should not be washed in a .mixed load.
Placing tennis shoes or a few tennis balls in-
to the dryer with the "down" item helps to
fluff it up in the drying process.
