URBANA -- Do you have a
college student who needs a crash course on how to use a washer and
dryer? Or, are you just tired of being the only one in the house who
does the laundry? |
|
The handy fact sheet "Laundering Guide for Beginners" outlines
step-by-step instructions for sorting clothes, preparing the load,
using detergent and using the proper fabric settings on washers and
dryers.
"Clothes last a lot longer if you care for them properly," says
Lois Smith, consumer and family economics educator with University
of Illinois Extension. "Simple things like closing zippers and
removing pins and buckles can keep clothes from getting snagged or
torn in the washing machine. And when clothes last longer, students
can save money."

The laundering guide is available free of charge. Call (217)
333-7672 or e-mail your request to
champaign_co@extension.uiuc.edu.
College students may even want to laminate a copy and tape it to
the bottom of their laundry basket. That way, they'll have the
information where they need it, when they need it.
