Hints to Homemaker From State College Sweater Care—Washing Sweaters are available in a variety of styles, colors, and ma terials. It is always an economy to select well-constructed wash able sweaters. Washable sweat ers of any material require the same washing care as dresses and blouses. Use a mild soap. Lukewarm water $ves protec tion to sweater colors. Quick drying Is Important. Don’t wash unless the label says the dyes are colorfast. 'The chief cause of woolen shrinkage is water too hot and excessive rubbing. Squeeze suds through garment, rather than rub. Wash sweaters frequently. Do Jt soak. For soiled portions ■ound collars or cuffs, apply iap directly, rub and squeeze New* From Negro ...
