Chlorine Bleach —More
Than a Laundering Aid
Liquid chlorine bleach, the most
widely used bleach in laundering,
is also an effective cleaner and
disinfectant for other household
tasks.
Here are some ways to use
bleach as a disinfectant in your
home. Many stains will also be
removed at the same time.
Dishes, glassware, bathroom
tumbler (china, glass, ceramic,
plastic) Wash dishes, glassware
and tumbler thoroughly. Then soak
in a solution of 1 tablespoon of
chlorine bleach to each gallon of
hot water. Rinse and drain dry.
Remove stubborn coffee and tea
stains by using 3 tablespoons of
bleach in a quart of hot water and
soaking the pieces about 5 to 10
minutes. Rinse well.

Bleach, like aio ,:J
cleaning product, needs to be u*l. .
with care. Read carefully and
follow manufacturer’s directions.
Always mix chlorine bleach with
water when directed. Allow
adequate ventilation when using.
Apply any bleach solution with a
synthetic sponge rather than a
natural one. Avoid prolonged
contact of bleach to metal, since
discoloration or corrosion can
occur. Do not use on silver or
chipped enamel. Avoid mixing
chlorine bleach with products
containing ammonia or acids such
as rust removers, toilet bowl
cleaners and vinegar. Such mix
tures can release hazardous gases.
Linen is making fashion
headlines this summer. The fabric
is a natural for hot weather since it
readily absorbs moisture and dries
quickly so that it is cool and
comfortable to wear. And many
designers consider linen’s ten
dency to wrinkle a fashion asset.
The relaxed and rumpled look of
an all-linen garment simply adds
to its appeal.
Designers are taking full ad
vantage of linen’s comfortable
casual look. For women, the
emphasis on warm-weather
dressing starts with a linen jacket
of simple unconstructed design
that can be worn over a linen
dress, pants or ankle-length skirt.

elegance is achieved by the
character of linen the uneven
texture and crisp appearance.
For men, linen jeans are a
number one fashion priority this
summer along with linen jeans
jackets, safari coats and sport
suits.
Many of the summer’s casual
linens are machine washable and
dryable. Before washing any linen
garment, check the care label to
make certain it is, indeed, machine
washable. Generally, you can use a
warm water setting for washing
light colors, cold for bright or dark
colors.
When drying, remove from the
dryer or line while still damp.
Ironing is still necessary, regar
dless of the accepted wrinkled
look, and can be most easily ac
complished when fibers are damp,
rather than bone-dry. Use a high
setting on the iron for heavy linens.
The finer and handkerchief linens
need a cooler iron. Iron linens on
the wrong side first. If you wish to
develop a sheen, particularly on
light colors, then iron on the right
side. Use a press cloth over seams
and stitched details to avoid press

markings. It is not necessary to
iron linen until bone-dry. Simply
iron out the wrinkles and hang the
garment until dry.
Since linen is such a fashion
staple this season, much in
demand with a limited supply and
high cost, finding the material in
its pure form may be difficult.
Linen blended with cotton, rayon,
silk and/or polyester is common.
These blends can improve wrinkle
resistance and, therefore, may be
preferable to the wearer who
prefers a more wrinkle-free look.
Because blends and their care
vary, check labels for refurbishing
instructions.
Fabrics that look like linen are
made from cotton, acetate, rayon
or polyester. Combinations of
these fibers are also available on
the market. These fabrics are less
expensive and more wrinkle
resistant than pure linen, but may
not be as durable and crisp after
repeated launderings. Since many
of the combinations look and feel
exactly like linen, check the
garment label for fiber content
and, again, for care instructions.
