Wools Make Recovering Furni
ture Buy Task ? with the "do
it-yourself" craze, the art of re
covering simple upholstered furni
ture has emerged to a large ex
tent from a professional skill to
become a routine household task.
Women have found that an un-i
sightly chair tucked away in the j
attic or garage or in plain sight
in the living room can be made
usable with a little rebuilding and
a pretty new covering. With a few
simple instructions, the right
tools and materials, the job is an
easy one.
The first step in approaching
the task Is the selection of the
proper fabrics. The best materials
to work with are those firm, strong
and not too loosely woven. Be
cause of the ease with which they
may be moulded and draped, many
wool fabrics are an Ideal choice.
Wood fabrics sold for dresses,
skirts and as suitings ? available
in a wide range of textures and
colors ? are Ideally suited to up
holstery requirements.
Ordinary household cleaning
fluids will remove spots or soil
from wool fabrics without streak
ing or leaving rings.
Safety In Closets and Storage
Space ? The National Safety
Council recommends: (1) storing
often-used articles where they can
be reached without climbing or
over-reaching. (2) providing ade
quate storage space on ground
level if possible for such outdoor
items as bicycles, baby buggies.
