Easier Way to Live: One good way by which to simplify homemaking is to get rid of troublemakers in your household furnishings as fast as you can. If you have an expensively upholstered sofa or chair which requires special cleaning often, make a slip-cover for it out of are of the practical cottons or other washable fabrics which are so numerous in the stores these days. A quick trip through the household washer now and then will keep it spic-and-span. Whisk it off and let the regular covering show when special guests are coming, or use the slip-covers day in and day out, for they are so attractive in themselves. When your draperies wear out, or when you decide to do over a room, look at the beautiful wash fabrics which you can buy for your windows. Make them up with washable linings, these preshrunk, too, of course, and save yourself troublesome cleaning from then on. In time, you can “re-plan” many of your furnishings for practical washing machine handling.
