It’s full of physical pleasures—the look of favorite clothes restored to freshness and beauty, the tactile satisfaction of crisp linens in beautifully folded stacks. Good laundering preserves things you love and protects your pocketbook. It doesn’t take much time or effort. What it takes is knowledge, and Laundry is the comprehensive, entertaining, and inspiring book on the art of laundering. Culled from the bestselling Home Comforts, with revised and updated information and a new introduction, Laundry is an indispensable guide to caring for all the cloth in one’s home: from kitchen rags to bedding, hand-washables, and baby clothes to vintage linens. Mendelson offers detailed guidance on when to disregard labels, removing stains, making environmentally informed choices, sewing, and storing clothing and fabrics. A much-needed antidote to the standard-issue how-to manual, Laundry celebrates the satisfactions of ironing, folding, and caring for clothes and linens. Both pragmatic and eloquent, Mendelson provides beginning and veteran homemakers with a seamless combination of reliable instruction, time-tested advice, and fascinating personal narrative. As a farm girl in Pennsylvania, Mendelson—who is a philosopher, lawyer, and professor, as well as a homemaker, wife, and mother—received a classic domestic education from her grandmothers, aunts, and mother. Laundry combines the best of the traditional lore they taught her with the latest in technical and scientific information. Writing with infectious love and respect for her subject, Mendelson is sure to instill in readers a newfound affection and appreciation for the art of laundering.

Download or read book Care Labelling in Garments written by R. Senthilkumar and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-22 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Care labels indicate how to clean textile articles in the best possible way. Care symbols provide all the necessary information on washing, bleaching, ironing, dry cleaning and tumble drying. Without this information, the consumer will face trouble in deciding on the appropriate care treatment of the textile item because it does not depend on the main fabric solely. Indeed, all the components of the textile need be taken into account: other fibres, accessories, but also dying, finishing treatments and texture. Using care labels provides the consumer with care information he does not have to decide on. Indeed, the consumer usually does not have the experience or technical knowledge to decide which care treatment is suitable.Care labelling is determined under the responsibility of the garment maker in common interest of textile manufacturers, drycleaners and of course consumers.
