Show THE THUNDERBIRD TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 1986 'Laundry 101' is basic course Many new and exciting experiences lie ahead for the e student who will be first-tim- living away from home. Some things will be exciting and some will be a bore. One thing on the list will be having to do one's own laundry. But it has to be done. Ask any old SUSC student and they will tell you that while laundering one must follow certain rules and the guidelines. Results can be costly if the rules aren't followed. Ask mother or grandmother what happens when white clothing is mixed with colored, for example. Even with miracle, machine-washabl- e, synthetic fibers, which have made washdays a lot easier for all, a few laundry mistakes can be ruin your day, let alone your clothing. If you don't want to flunk Laundry 101 here are a few rules that have been recommended by a major washing machine company. No jeans mixed with delicate fabrics in the same wash load. The delicates will lose the battle and bear the scars forever. Don't jam everything into one load. Clothes need room to move and flex in the washtub to get them clean. Don't mix dark colors with whites, unless you don't care if your whites become a dingy gray shade. Whites pick up the discarded dirt and color tones from dark clothes. Don't wash colored things in hot water. They lose their brightness. Some fade and lose color. Don't bring loads of dirty clothes home for mom to do. She'd rather spend time with you than the washing machine. Here is the list of absolute do's. Sort and separate clothing by colors, whites, darks, mediums and by fabric and weight, towels, jeans, shirts, blouses, socks, etc. Check the washing instructions on the garment label. Pretreat soiled and stained spots before putting the item in the washer. Use enough detergent. Follow the manufacturer's suggestion on the package. Do read it. Do your laundry fairly often, once a week or every other week if possible. The longer you wait the harder it is to remove soils and stains. The hard to remove turn fnto the impossible to remove. With today's laundry equipment and these basic tips, your clothes can look as nice at mid-teras they did when you first arrived on campus. m You dont have to be an art major to appreciate the beauty of First Securitys free student checking account Picture this: A checking account with no monthly fee.
