Over 50 years ago, a handle, flat brush and solution tank were attached THE DELUXE ASHLEY IMPERIAL Model C-60 A —ASHLEY COLUMBIAN ~ Model 25HF to an electric motor and the shampoo method of cleaning carpet was bom. There have been many changes m the equipment, but the principle is still basically the same. The detergent solution is appliced to the carpet pile and worked in by the action of the brush bristles. The rotary brush method gives a good surface ap pearance to most carpet. On deeply soiled carpet, the mechanical action of the brush may be required to loosen the soil. The action of the brush may produce pile distortion, especially in the hands of the unskilled operator. Carpet with a long pile, soft yam twist or low density are most likely to have their textures changed. A few years ago, a machine was developed to redye upholstery furniture in a plant. The machine used boiling water to get better dye penetration and it was observed that the steam laden with water produced cleaning. The machine was then used to clean rugs in the plant. The next step was to adapt the machine so it could be taken into the home. These machines did not produce true steam, but the name carried over from the original upholstery furniture dying machine. Today many of these machines no longer have heaters in them and the temperature is determined HERSHEY FARM'S Gpenfimse IN THE PRETZEL BARN ALSO CELEBRATING OUR 2nd ANNIVERSARY FOR THE RESTAURANT JUNE 12-17, 1978 Located on Rt. 896 between Rt. 30 and Strasburg.

Some machines do nave heaters to maintain the temperature of the cleaning solution, and several machines do produce solutions with high tem peratures. Increasing the tem perature of the cleaning solution will increase the soil removal. Even though the solution in the tank is hot, it may increase the tem perature of the carpet only a small amount. It is then blown into the pile in a vaporized' form. Almost immediately a large portion ‘of the solution is removed from the carpet by a vacuum. Each of these steps reduces the temperature of the solution. A more ac- curate term of describing this method of cleaning is “hot water extraction.” Hot water extraction will remove a large amount of soil with little or no texture change. On deeply soiled carpet some mechanical brushing action may be necessary. Several machines have a brush attachment or the shampoo machine may be used first. From this it would appear that the hot water extraction system is superior to the shampoo method. This is not necessarily true as the appearance of the carpet cleaned by the shampoo method may look better. In Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 10,1978-45 most cases the appearance is of the greatest interest. When the hot water ex traction systems were first introduced to the professional cleaners, they used a very hard sell. Some of this hard sell has been continued by the professional cleaners. These ads attempt to descredit the shampoo method of cleaning. In turn, the professionals who use the shampoo method have retaliated in their ads. This has produced consumer confusion. A reputable cleaner should have both types of machines and, after examining the soiled carpet, he should determine the best procedure to use. After all, he should have much more knowledge and experience to make this decision than the consumer who has obtained the information from ad vertising. In the hands of a skilled operator, either machine will clean satisfactorily. DIETARY FIBER NATURAL VERSUS COMMERCIAL LAXATIVES Scientific research cannot at this time substantiate the claims that added fiber in the diet will cure, alleviate or prevent diseases and disorders of the gastroin testinal tract. But both scientists and medical authorities agree that foods containing fiber, eaten in sufficient quantities, can maintain normal elimination processes. If you are buymg over-the counter products termed as “laxatives” and swallowing, chewing and choking down various curealls for con sipation ills, perhaps the addition of fiber in your diet cannot only make you feel better but save you money. Occasional use of com mercially prepared products may be in order. But if taking these products is a habit, you should first check with your physician. No such product should be taken or is designed for consistent use. Be aware that some physical conditions resulting in constipation and ab dominal pain require medical attention and could even be aggrevated by self diagnosis and self administered commercial laxatives or a binge of fiberous food. For your best interests and future health, check with your physician if you are experiencing irregularity problems or abdominal pain. If a medical examination reveals no problem, you can replace the more expensive over-the-counter products with foods "that taste good and are good for you - fruits and vegetables, cereals and breads containing whole grains. Ask you physician about fiber in the diet - yours in particular. Farm I Women’s | Calendar Today, June 10 Lancaster Co. Society 13 meeting. Lancaster Co.
