A classic favorite has
been revised!
Teach the basics of
cleaning clothes so
that they wear out on
you, instead of in the
machine. Watch
step-by-step
instructions on
sorting,
washing and
drying
clothes. Take
your
students
behind the
scenes at a
dry cleaner
to
discover
it’s not really dry at all.
Learn basic
techniques for stain removal, and
see how to interpret care labels on
garments. Discover which laundry
additives are worthwhile, and see
how detergent cleans not by
penetrating fabric, but by “making
water wetter”. Show how to use
bleach and avoid garment damage,
and how to iron and store clothing
after it’s clean.
Explore:
• Does it matter if you use a front
loading or a top loading washer
and dryer?
• How often should you wash
clothing and linens?
• What kind of preparations do you
need to make before cleaning
your clothes?
• Do home dry cleaning kits
really work?
• Laundry additives,boosters, stain
removers, antistatic treatments.
Do they help clean or are they
marketing gimmicks?
• What are fabric softeners? Do
they work, and how can you
select the best?
• What’s the best way to clean
wool and garments that require
gentle handling?
