Homemaking Tips Ry Mlaa Bertha Landis Homs Demonstration Agent Many fabrics on the market have been given •pecial finishes to make them more practical for summer wear. Labels read wrinkleresistant, soil-resistant, stain-res-istant, perspiration-resistant, and starchless. “Wrinkle-resistant” means that the fabric has been so treated to make it more serviceable and retain the.new look longer. “Wrinkleresistdht” means that it will have less ol’a tendency to wrinkle-not that it will not wrinkle at all. Some oi those wrinkles will be less prominent after the garment hangs overnight. “Soil-resistant” finish helps to keep the fabric clean longer. Since rayons and acetates do have somewhat of a smooth fiber, they have lesb tendency to spot or stain. However, this special finish may be applied to these fibers, making them resistant to water spotting but not grease. “Starchlees’ finishes give sheer cotton fabrics crispness. Hence they may withstand repeated laund-; erings without losing much of tbeir stiffness. During hot, humid wea then a fabric with such a finish will not soil, muss, or wrinkle aw,' 1 readily as a similar untreated fabric. 1 Many of the special finishes give the fabric more than one desirable . For exfamiplu a wrinkle-resistant finish may also make a fabric more resistant to shrinking or a “stain-resistant” finish more resistant to spots and creases.
