Save energy as you use appliance

WEST LAFAYETTE — Electric ranges, freezers, frostless refrigerators, water heaters, and air conditioners — they all use high amounts of energy as they produce or remove heat. But they don’t have to/ use excessive amounts of energy, says Sandra Shank, extension housing specialist at Purdue university. You can take steps to conserve energy as you use these appliances in your home, Mrs Shank explains, adding that many of these appliances draw more than 1,000 kilowatt hours per year. “First, keep your appliances clean and in top running order. For example, defrost your refrigerator and freezer before the frost gets an inch thick,” she adds. Also consider the placement of appliances, Mrs. Shank adds, explaining that the hot water heater needs to be located as closely as possible to the washer and dishwasher. If hot water has to travel a long distance, you’ll lose heat in the long pipelines. If this is your problem, Mrs. Shank suggests you locate the hot water heater closer to hot water appliances. Or you might help the situation by insulating long pipelines. The specialist also advises that you use only appliances that you really need to use. And eliminate duplicates. “For example,” she points out, “many people run a second refrigerator, which can use 1,000 kilowatts a year.” Also cut off the energy as soon as possible, Mrs. Shank says. For example, you can turn off an electric oven about five minutes before the food is done. The food will continue to cook as the oven gradually cools down. - What about smaller appliances? Mrs. Shank says most of them are not heavy energy users. An electric toothbrush uses only 0.5 kilowatt hours per year —about 15 cents worth of electricity. A vibrator uses two kilowatt hours annually, and a shaver, only 1.8. “On the other hand,” she continues, “a color, tube-type television uses 660 kilowatts per year, and a similar black and white model uses 350 kilowatts annually. Remember they produce some heat, and they’re probably used frequently.” To help you compare the energy used by small and. large appliances in your home, the

Family dinner? By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Extension Home Economist It’s that time of year for family dinners when you get out the linen table cloth and good china. ■Riere isn’t anything more attractive than a pretty table setting. But all too often stains ruin the appearance of table linens. Most stains if treated immediately can be removed. One of the most common holiday spills is from candles. Candle wax can be removed from fabric by placing the stain between clean white blotters or several layers of tissue and press with a warm iron. To remove the remaining stain, sponge with a grease solvent. Or, if it is safe for the fabric, pour boiling water through the spot. Chocolate presents a special problem since it is a combination stain — both greasy and nongreasy. Sponge the stain with cool water or soak it in cool water for 30 minutes. If the stain remains, work soap or detergent into the stain, then rinse thoroughly. If a greasy stain remains, sponge with a grease solvent. Coffee with cream is a combination stain and should be treated in the same manner as chocolate. Coffee without cream

and tea can be removed from white cotton and linen by pouring boiling water from height of two feet through the stain. Then use bleach for any remaining stain. For other fabrics sponge the stain with warm water. If the stain remains, apply warm glycerine, let stand 30 minutes and rinse well. Or sponge with a solvent. Before treating any stain carefully read the tags on the garment. Then act promptly when a fabric is stained. Many stains that can be removed easily when they are fresh are difficult or impossible to remove later, particularly after they are set by heat.
