Ask the contractor about this. Warranty periods vary, but many contractors guarantee labor for two to five years, depending on climate, materials and the amount of abuse the roof will receive. Many manufacturers guarantee materials for 10 to 20 years. Keep in mind that a manufacturers guarantee alone will not protect you if the system fails because of poor workmanship. - - Check to see If liability Insurance is covered in the contract or proposal. If not, the homeowner is liable for any injuriesincurred by workmen or for any damage to the home during construction. - - Verify that the roofing contractor has a permanent place of business, a telephone number, a tax identifcation number and, where appropriate, a business license. Request references, specifically from people who have had roofing work performed that is similar to yours. To find a professional roofing contractor, contact local contractor associations, ask for recommendations from business associates and neighbors or call the National Roof Contractors Assn.

The towel will absorb grime that is released in the tumbling action and the fabric softener will make the draperies smell fresh and new. Do not use fabric softener if draperies have a polyester fiber content. terrycloth towels absorb more dirt than polyester-cottoblends. My towel was positively filthy when I took it out, exclaimed one customer, amazed at how much dirt had been released from her draperies. 5- - Set the dryer on air fluff or noheat cycle (or use the lowest heat setting possible).

A lining already weakened by exposure to the sun may come back in with harsh shreds after a drycleaning materials. In addition, shrinkage may occur in different degrees between fabric and lining. The solution to this problem is to follow two intermediate steps. First, vacuum draperies often. Do it regularly, like every other payday, or the turning of the month, for example. At the very least, do it during a spring and fall housecleaning. How often is often? That depends upon how much the windows are open, the dust level, the type of heating system or whether there are air filters. The point is to prevent dirt from remaining on the fabric where it will be absorbed over time. Whisk it off frequently and draperies will look good for years without cleaning. Later, if fabrics need additional cleaning, gently tumble the panels in the dryer as follows: - Remove drapers from rod. 2-- Remove all drapery pins this is critical. 3- - Without washing or drycleaning draperies, place one panel at a time into the dryer.
