They rarely have time to use the in-by-9 back-by-5 hotel laundry serv­ ices. But with planning they can manage. Here is the Traveler's Do-It- Yourself Laundry method: Before leaving home, fill •mall plastic bags or vials, one for each day on the road, with one tablespoon of detergent and one-fourth cup of bleach substitute like Borateem Plus, safe for all fabrics and colors. The brief washing of under- things, shirts, blouses, socks or stockings should be accom­ plished as shortly after arrival as possible to allow for more drying time. Pre-treat dirty collars and cuffs by dampening the soiled areas and rubbing in a few pinches of the laundry com­ pound. Pour the rest of the package into a basin of warm water, immerse the garment*, agitate by hand for 30-40 sec­ onds and let them soak 10 minutes. Rinse in warm water and hang up to dry. If shirts puck­ er, pull down at the seams. Socks can be towel-dried to hasten the process. Although the laundry should dry over­ night, especially in air con­ ditioned rooms, take along a larger plastjc bag to pack damp things.
