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.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Water alone can remove all dirt from fabrics.

Soap and detergent are the same as grease solvents.

All stains should be removed with one strong reagent so that the stain disappears quickly.
