Time Schedule for Washing Clothes Keeps Them New

Run the washing machine by the clock to protect your clothes from the dangers of overlong washing. ; ¥ Most housewives know. that too short washing does not get clothes clean, but many do not realize the dangers of overlong washing. Running the machine too long adds unnecessary wear to clothes, wastes electricity” and, if the water is very soiled, may drive the soll back into the

The time table for machine washing suggested by the specialists is two or three minutes for silks, rayons and synthetics; five to 10 minutes for slightly soiled cotton and linen; 10 to 15 minutes for very soiled cotton. \

If clothes are not clean in 15 | minutes, they need hand rubbing of very soiled places or another washing in clean suds. Wool needs very gentle treat ment when wet to prevent shrinkage. Therefore, wool should be washed in the shortést possible time, never over five minutes and less if possible in the machine, Very often it is safer to wash wool articles by hand. .To prtoect fine linen handkerchiefs and other sheer, or fine fabrics in the machine, put them in a loose cheesecloth bag | and let them go through the
