are built into most of today’s
washers and dryers. If
clinging lint is a persistent
tag-along on freshly
laundered clothes, you may
need to re-check a few steps
in your laundering
procedures to determine the
cause. There are five major
reasons that lint clings to
clothes: improper sorting of
laundry, insufficient use of
detergent, insufficient
amount of water,
overloading of washer and
dryer and overdrying.
The first remedial step is
to check the lint filters. To
perform at peak efficiency,
filters should be cleaned
after each wash and dry
load.
Next look at sorting
procedures. Do you separate
the lint “givers”, such as
towels and flannel pajamas
from the lint “attractors”,
such as linens, corduroys,
dark cottons, man-made
fabrics and permanent press
garments? By washing the
loads separately there is less
chance of lint transfer. Very
heavy linters, such as
chenille bedspreads, are best
laundered alone. Turning
lint holders inside out may
help, too.
Detergents act to increase
the wetting of fabric sur
faces. If too little detergent
is used, the wetting action is
reduced and lint adheres
more readily. Use the
amount of detergent
suggested on the detergent
package for your type of
machine, water hardness,
load size and degree of soil.
Loading too many clothes
into the washer inhibits the
free movement of the clothes
and the flushing away of the
lint from fabric surfaces.
Check the washer Instruction
booklet to determine
recommended load size and
water level.
Man-made fabrics that
have been overdired
magnetically draw lint due
to static buildup. Correct
timing and use of a fabric
softener help to eliminate the
problem.
Finally, there are per
manent press and certain
man-made fibers such as
polyesters and acrylics, that
have a tendency to pill.
Pilling (formation of little
balls on the surface) is
caused by abrasion from
normal wear that is
characteristic of these
fabrics. Lint adheres to the
pilled surfaces, and it is
extremely difficult to I
remove. It is best to brush
the items carefully with a
stiff bristled brush, or use an
electric shaver on the pills.
Pyrex and Corning Ware
Casserole dishes, trays,
pans and coffee and tea pots
made of Pyrex or Coming
Ware stay clean and
sparkling by simple use of
hot soap or detergent suds
following by rinsing and
drying. A big plus for these
kitchen helpers is that they
may be either hand washed
or placed in an automatic
dishwasher. If special
problems should arise here
are some tips which may
help you to eliminate the
problem or prevent it from
happening.
Burned-on or scorched-on
food. Soak immediately in
hot soap or detergent suds.
Loosen soil with a plastic
mesh pad or wooden spoon.
Then use a cleansing powder
with a damp cloth or sponge,
rinse and dry. To prevent
burning, cook food on the
lowest heat.
Sugary or starchy burned
on food. Use baking soda
instead of cleansing powder
on a damp cloth or sponge.
Rinse and dry. For
prevention, use the lowest
heat when cooking.
Greasy burned-on food.

Again, use the lowest heat to
prevent burning.
Gray marks from metal
stirring utensils. Use a fine
polishing cleanser with a
damp cloth, paper towel or
sponge. In the future, stir
foods with a plastic, wooden

Discoloration. Fill cook

bleach solution (1 part
bleach to 8 parts water).
Heat or let stand over night.
