Have you ever laundered a
garment with a wash- and- wear
label and discovered to your
disappointment that it does not
really mean what it says?
The term wash- and- wear is
apt to be confused with the more
recent development of durable or
permanent press, Consumers'
Association of Canada has learned,
through a large volume of letters
received on the subject.
Wash-and-wear refers to a gar-
ment made of a pre -tested fabric
that may be washed, dried and
used again with very little iron-
ing. When properly laundered it
will give satisfactory service but
you will want to do some touch-
up ironing on most garments.
Statements on labels such as.drip-
dry, little-or-no-irbnin or min-
imum care will usually indicate
the wash-and-wear fabrics.
On the other hand, the durable
or permanent press articles are
mostly no -irons. They have had
resin applied to the fabric and
are heat -set alter the garment
has been made up. You should
always inspect a permanently
pressed garment carefully to see
that the seams, facings, and
zippers are smooth and flat be-
cause any puckering or wrinkles
in the fabric or seams will not
wash or iron out. The linings,
interfacings, seam tapes, collars
and the like should be of a no -
iron material also. Check the
size carefully; fit is most import-
ant because permanently pressed
garments are almost impossible to
alter. They may be shortened or
made slightly smaller but the
material willnot lie as flat as
the factory finished job. Length-
ening hems or letting out seams
is not recommended as the pres-
sed -in creases will remain.
Consumer's Association of Can-
ada received many complaints

ed fabrics were put on the mark -

et, It was found that the heavy
concentration of resins needed
fox the finish caused a degradat-
ion of the cotton which resulted
in the fabrics breaking and tear-
ing in washing and use. Now
man-made fibres are blended
with natural fibres for strength
to Five a fabric the best prop-
erties of each.
Easy care fabrics have elimin-
ated some clothes care problems
but have created others. These
fabrics were intended to be cared
for in automatic equipment so it
is important to follow the rules
when you launder.
Do not let your garments be-
come heavily soiled or stained
because they are difficult to get
clean. It helps to pre -treat grease
stains and the collar and cuff
lines before washing.
Be sure to sort the clothes,
Some fabrics pick up color and
lint from others. Wash white gar-
ments only with other white art-
icles; wash similar fabrics togeth-
er, Turn pleated garments and
trousers inside out to give extra
protection to the finish on the
creased edges,
Crowding the washer causes
wrinkling, so it is best to do
small loads in warm or cool wat-
er.
If your machine doesn't have
the special wash and wear cycles,
set the machine for slow agitation
if possible. It should not be nec-
essary to wash the clothes for
more than five minutes.
Rinse in warm or cool water
and it you want to use a fabric
softener ro reduce the static elec-
tricity, put it is during the last
rinse. It is advisable to take the
clothes out of the Machine as
soon as the cycle ends.
If you are not using an auto-
matic machine do not wring the
clothes either by machine or by
hand. hang your garments on
non -rusting hangers, shape and
smooth the seams, collars and
cuffs and let drip-dry. llang
trousers by the cuffs.
With an automatic dryer, use
medium heat or the wash- and -
wear setting. Remove articles
when not quite dry and place
them on hangers to reduce wrink-
ling. The fabric softener and
small loads in the dryer can cut
down on needed ironing.

ries or equipment with limited
controls will need to give a little
extra thought and attention to
the job to ensure good results.
When using a dryer without spec-
ial controls, it would be better
to put in the no -irons separately
at the beginning of the cycle be-
fore the machine heats upand add
other articles after the no -irons
are removed. Thismay rather
be a nuisance but it is less trouble
and time consuming than ironing.
With permanently pressed fab-
rics it is now possible for a home-
maker to practically eliminate
ironing from her household chores
if she uses the no -iron bedding
and table linens available anif
everyone in the family wears no-
iron washables. We have to ex-
pect to pay a little more than
usual when we buy these fabrics
THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1970
with this built-in service but
properly handled, easy care fab-
rics can be a real boon to the
busy consumer.

This revelation of the
extra driving danger induced
by alcohol is quoted by the
Ontario Safety League. Over
a five - year period, total cla-
ims of a Swedish insurance
company's policyholders,
who are all total abstain-
ers, were 15 c lower than
those of the general group.
When it is considered that
the general group also in-
cludes abstainers, it is ob-
vious that drinkers have a
substantially higher accident
expectancy..
