What to Focus On

  • Mending includes repair of tears, holes, seams, hems, buttons, fasteners, ribbons, laces, and fancy attachments.
  • Damaged fabric should be repaired before laundering.
  • Washing strain can enlarge damage and cause greater fabric loss.

  • Laundering includes stain removal, preparation, washing, finishing, and pressing or ironing.
  • Finishing may involve blueing and starching.
  • Laundry improves appearance as well as cleanliness.

  • A stain is not removed by normal washing and needs special treatment.
  • Fresh stains are easier to remove.
  • Unknown stains should be treated first with a simple method and mild reagents.
