Timely Tips for Women by Doris W. Thomas Washing Electric Blankets When using home laundry equipment to wash and dry electric blankets, follow instructions carefully. Every new electric blanket carries washing instructions. If you mis- place the instructions, follow the following general washing procedures: Use a washer that extracts water by spinning. Do not put electric bedding through a wringer because fine wires may be damaged. -Pretreat with a paste of detergent and water rubbed in with a brush. Disconnect removable electr- ical parts. Tie any dangling parts loosely in a washcloth or small towel to protect them during laundering. If the electric blanket is made of wool, wash and dry as you would a wool blanket. Omit any stretching or wringing. For fabrics other than wool, fill the washer with warm wa- ter. Add detergent as for a normal washing and agitate to dissolve. Add the blanket, push under water. Agitate for two minutes or soak for ten minutes — whichever is indi- cated by the amount of soil and type of fabric. Advance the control to the spin cycle and let the machine complete the spin. Fill for the rinse and agitate two minutes. Spin again, Put through an identi- cal rinse and spin. Add a fa- bric softener to the last rinse if desired. Directions on some electric blankets permit tum- ble drying. Others don’t. Fol- low directions in either case, If you can tumble dry the blanket, preheat the dryer on medium heat with five or six bath towels in it. Add the blanket, tuck the warm tow- els into the folds of the blan- ket, Dry for a short time — about 10 minutes. Remove the blanket while still damp and finish drying in the air — ov- er-drying may harm the blan- ket’s heating elements. . * * * February Plen!iful Foods It’s Leap Year—that time once every four years when February picks up an extra day.
