Hello! The days get longer and
somehow the house needs more
attention. It seems like a good
time to bundle draperies off to the
gleaners. Sometimes, they come
back looking almost new, other
times they look tattered. Well,
what's what? Why should they
come back from the 'professional
cleaner faded and torn? Some-
times it is the cleaner's fault, but
frequently if is something beyond
his control.
Today, consumers have a huge
variety of textiles available to
them and most are designed to
Ore service. However, some tex-
tiles and colors, because of their
own properties and through no
fault of the store or dry cleaner,
simply do not withstand the
•
strain of hard wear.
•
Draperies may be in• perfect
condition apparently — when
sent for dry Cleaning, but because
of the effects of light, sun and
dampness, they may actually be
weakened. The fibres may be so
deteriorated that even moderate
agitation to remove soil may
cause them to shred. Let's look at
the main hazards.
—Sun damage: constant ex-
posure to the sun through glass
damages some fibres. Lined cur-
tains naturally stand exposure
better than unlined. Rotating
them. when possible from sunny
to unexposed areas helps prolong
the life.
—Sunlight and color: when just
one color of a printed curtain
fades, •it is the , result of the
chemical action of sunlight on the
dye. Colors most frequently af-
' feeted are yellow, red and pale
green. '‘ •
—Oxidation: natural chemicals
• in the air sometimes combine
with the natural humidity to form
• a mild acid which' eventually de-
;• teriorates the fibres, •
—Fume fading; • , gases and

Refrigerator Safety
If you buy 'a -new fridge or
" freezer, don't let your old one be
the cause oftA child's death. For
approximately 10 year' s' all Cana-
• dian4huilt. refrigerators and
freezers have been equipped with
.safety 'door than can be re-
leased from the inside. But there
are still some old-timers about to
be discarded. Somethnes old ap-
pliances are hauled to the durnp
or shunted onto a porch and chil-
dren consider this box a magic
find.
The Canadian Appliance Manu-
facturers Association is concern-
ed that same homeowners are
unaware ofthis danger. If it isn't
possible to take the door off the
hinges, CAMA urges owners to
wedge the door open or chain it
shut in such a way that children
can't pry it open. Should you see
an abandoned refrigerator that
could become a death trap, notify
local authorities.
High-Pressure,Selling
Before buying in the home, be
realistic about your needs, know
current prices and determine the
full selling price. Ask the sales-
man for identification (most
provinces have these sellers
registered). From then on, it is
up to you.
No one can make you buy
against your win. If you aren't in-
terested, don't listen to the pitch.
No need to be polite. Shut the door
or hang up the phone. Inviting
him in shows you have some in-
terest (and he knows this). If you
change your mind and he won't
leave (hoping to Wear you Own),
call the police. Keep the Better
Business Bureau and provincial
consumer departments inform-
ed. You can contact them through
your phone book or care of your
provincial parliament building.
Why do sup -hose and other
stretchy garments lose elas-
ticity? Today's garments stretch
with spandex, a strong durable
man-made fibre with high elas-
ticity and good recovery. But it
breaks down with high heat and
when bleached. Handwash these
garments'in warm suds, drip dry
and avoidbleaching.
Is there a way to cover
scratches on coppertone ap-
pliances? Yes. Get a bottle of
automebiletouch-up in a match-
inrmetallic color. •

Unbury that box of baking
soda. Capa11e of replacing virtu-
ally your entire roster of cleaning
aids, it's a super. space -and -
money saver. But What bas really
brought rediscovery of this fami-
liar old staple is its purity.
Women who are fearful of pro-
ducts containing a long -list of un-
pronouncable ingredients are
turning back to baking soda.
Also, those who are concerned
about water pollution use it be-
cause it's phosphate free. And as
it occurs naturally inmany lakes
and streams, you know it's com-
patible with water.
Others prefer baking soda be-
cause it is free of harsh furnes,or
sweet, lingering after -fragrance.
Odorless itself, it absorbs the un-
wanted smells, leaving an honest
freshness in its place.,
This odor -ousting property
makes it especially valuable in
the kitchen where smells arc
inclined to cling: the chopping
block and other wood but lace*
that have had contact with onion,
garlic, fish or cheese; jars that
you want to reuse.; sponges that
have gone dank.
Sweetening is accomplished
with a soak in a solution of baking
soda ora scouring with dry soda.
In the refrigerator, once it's been
washed out with the soda solu-
tion, you can maintain freshness
by keeping an open package on
one of the shelves. Shake occa-
sionally to expose a fresh soda
surface. A sniff will tell you when
it's time to replace. . . and prove
that it works.
There are many other house-
hold uses for this familiar old
friend of kitchen Cupboard' and
medicine chest. You will see
some described on the box. Or
yoti might write to the manufact-
urer for descriptive literature.
