If you’re in the market for a new washing machine, the new
portable mini-washer may have caught your eye. It is less expen
sive than the family-size automatic washer,
takes no special plumbing, and fits into a
smaller space.
But the mini doesn’t replace the regular
automatic washer
You need to consider things other than
price, plumbing, and space., For example, the
roomy family-size washer takes a load up to 12
to 16 pounds. Washloads for the mini-washer
vary from three to six pounds
The portable minis are not truly auto
matic You wash clothes in a tub that’s filled
by a hose connected to your kitchen sink fau
cet. When the wash cycle ends, you have to
lift the clothes into a second tub where excess
water is spun out. Then you can rinse out the
clothes in either tub.
You can complete a small
amount of laundry m about 10
minutes in a mim-washer. How
ever, during the 10 minutes, you
must be on hand to do the lift
ing and switching. This can be
tiring and time consuming if
you have several loads to do.
The portable mini-washer isn’t
ideal for large family loads.
However, it has a real value as
a second washer for personal
clothing.
It also has a place in a vaca-

tion home, in the home of a
single peison where there may
not be room for a regular wash
er, or in an apartment where no
special plumbing is available
for a regular washer.
And with a portable mini
washer in a closet or under a
counter, you can do your laundry
at your own convenience in your
own home.
Proper Care of Rainwear
Winter weather is giving way
to spring spring rains, in
cluded And you will be relying
on youi rainwear instead of your
high boots, and heavy coat
If you take proper care of
your lainwear it will do a better
job of piotectmg you against
the spring rain drops.
As with other garments, rain
wear caie suggested by the
manufacturer is determined by
the type of fabric, construction,
turns and detailing of the type
of finish on the garment
If your laim’oat is labeled
“washable” or “wash only,” its
water repellent finish may be
a type that partially dissolves in
a dry-cleaning solvent but isn’t
affected if you launder it
A raincoat labeled “dry clean
only” may have a finish that
was applied in a water solution.
Laundering will cause “diy clean
only” rainwear to lose some of
its water-i epellent finish
Many raincoats now on the
market have dm able pi ess
finishes If you have one of
these, wash and dry it using
warm water and warm heat, as
you would for other durable
press garments
When you launder rainwear,
be sure to rinse all detergent out
of the garment. Detergent left
in the fabric will decrease its
water repellency.
Clean vinyl rainwear by wash
ing the surface with a sudsy
cloth or sponge Since most
vinyl raincoats cannot be dry
cleaned, buy one with a colored
lining that doesn’t show the soil.
Spring rains will not go away
with a wish, but properly cared
for rainwear will make the sea
son, and the rain, moie enjoy
able
