EE HOUSECLEANING TiME MADE EASIER By LOUISE BROWN The most comforting modern trend I know of is the one to make everything possible in the home washable, The way things fre going now, the main equipment needed af housecleaning time is plenty of good mild soap and water. It's one time you want a hot water system that be depended on to produce hot water every time you turn on a faucet. And that's plenty of times during the spring renovating sea. Indeed, I can't think of any- that lessens the drudgery of neecleaning as much as an in. stant supply of hot waler, always ready to whisk up flufly soapsuds Hot water and soap are good dis- infectants, 00, you know, so they help put the house in a clean, san- flary condition. son Just consider how many things be washed in the home. Wall. papers, fabrics, ceramic and com- position tile, glass, linoleum, paint —all can take the soap and water treatment. Of course, the wall paper and special fabrics need rather care- fu! handling, but they can be wash- ed successfully with soapsuds, using n clean sponge and working from ceiling to floor, doing a small sec- tion at a time. The other materials can all “take it,” with a good thor- ough washing can Woodwork, that has a good paint only needs lukewarm water and soapsuds to get it like new githough especially dirty, finger- printed spots may need a mild abra- sive powder Washable Fabrics * fabrics used In draperies and take the wash tub '! mony of those that h like a hankie l and wn and go to the h” summer ones r'ned to take their the summer ones n washed last fall put away, but do forget.)

In most cases they can be washed with heavy suds of a mild soap. Sponge with even strokes, doing a small area at a time, scrape the suds off with a spatula, rinse well with a cloth wrung from hot water then wipe dry. Always work with the nap or weave of the fabrie, using gentle and having the soapsuds a Ary ible Most spots and stains will come out daring this pro- cess, but some tupborn ones will need a special cleanine fluid If the rug or chalr does not need & complete washing, there may be one or two spots that need atten- tion, and these may often be re- moved by rubbing gently with a clean cloth and hot water. If the baby has spilled orange julce, try rubbing with a cloth wet with hot water. Chocolate spots will usually react to a little lukewarm water and strokes ad PO Lamp Shades Most lamp shades, nowadays can be washed. Composition or parch- ment ones can be wiped off with a damp cloth, Silk shades that are sewed to the frame may be washed Of course you must remove any fancy trimmings or metallic braids before washing.
