PAGE 15 - SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1976 Some sure-fire remedies for the holiday spots and spills Planning a successful holiday partygives you enough to think about without having to worry about after-the-festivities laundry problems. If spots and spills seem to overflow along with the good cheer, don't despair; a little spot-removal know- how provides for quick and easy cleanups of par­ ty-time calamities. First, some ground rules: Remember, a spot is easiest to remove if it's treated as soon as possible. Washable items should be laundered according to the manufacturer's instruc­ tions; water temperatures are important. Most common spots will respond to a treatment of Spray 'n Wash® laundry soil and stain remover. Just spray the pretreat directly on the spot, wait 60 seconds, and launder normally. For extra-tough spots, try another spray and washing. Non-washables -- and this includes many wall­ papers, should the cele­ brating get particularly lively with more than hap­ py voices bouncing off the walls -- will come clean with an application of K2r® Spot-lifter. Coat the spot with spot- lifter, wait until it dries completely, then just brush the white powder -- and the spot -- away. (Check the effect of any spot remover in an incon­ spicuous place before at­ tempting to remove a spot from wallpaper or a non- colorfast fabric.) Here are the spots a homemaker is most likely to encounter at holiday time -- with the appropri­ ate emergency remedies. • Gravies and fondues -- scrape off as much of the grease as possible. Use the spray pretreat or spot- lifter to get the residue. • Egg Nog and heavy cream -- lukewarm water or soap and water will re­ move any solid portion; then pretreat or spot-lift accordingly. • Cranberry sauce and berry juices -- sponge with cold water first and pre­ treat or spot-lift. • Wines -- lukewarm water will remove white wine spots on non-wash­ ables; spot-lifter takes care of red or rose spots. For washable items, just use spray pretreat before laundering. • Candle wax -- place the stained item between layers of absorbent paper and press with a warm iron. This will draw up most of the solid wax. Then pretreat or spot-lift accordingly to remove res­ idue. • Chafing dish smudges -- sponge off sooty residue with cool water. Spray 'n Wash or spot-lifter will do the rest. • Coffee -- on a non- washable item, spot-lifter will remove the spot; any traces of sugar will re­ spond to a moist rag. Pre­ treat and launder the cof­ fee spot on washable fab­ rics. • Candies and cream- filled sweets -- again, on a non-washable, any re­ maining sugar trace -- af­ ter the spot is treated -- will be removed by dabbing with a moist cloth. And, again, the washable item needs the spray pretreat and proper laundering. • Lipstick -- Just spot- lift or pretreat. • Green vegetable spots -- wet stained area with cool water, then spot-lift or pretreat. • Evergreen sap -- sponge up as much of the sticky solid or residue as possible; then spot-lift or pretreat and launder. Have festive fun 6hanging9 a wall Felt is a natural at Christmastime. Easy to stitch, adaptable to all sorts of Christmas gifts, decorations, orna­ ments and table settings, available in bright Christ­ mas tones -- what would Christmas be without felt? Now, felt has an extra dimension. The Pellon Corporation has just in­ troduced Phun Phelt,™ an all-polyester, complete­ ly washable, crushproof and colorfast nonwoven material. It has greater tensile strength than most craft felts, accepts spray paint without blurring, may be stitched, glued or fused in place, and comes in a range of joyous Christmas colors. Any youngster on your Christmas list would love a giant wall hanging made of a single yard of Phun Phelt.™ It's 72" wide, so the hanging will measure 36" by 72." Educational as well as decorative, this hanging can feature learn- to-count squares. To make a wall hanging like this one, you will need one yard of the basic background color, a half- yard of ulack for border and divider lines, and an assortment of 9" by 12" pieces in different colors. These elements may be stitched together, or the hanging may be assembled without stitching by using Pellon's fusible web. Copy these designs, or make up your own from simple out­ line designs in coloring books. Note that some of the designs have extra lines such as the legs of the spiders, the strings of the balloons, and the spouts of the whales. These may be done in hand embroi­ dery, with machine stitch­ ing, or with a felt pen. Cut the designs from the Phun Phelt™ squares, and, if you are fusing the designs, cut a matching piece of fusible web for each design. Cut the black felt divid­ er lines 1" thick, and the border lines 2" thick. Cut matching strips of fusible web. Position web between fabrics, and fuse carefully into position using a damp press cloth and 10 second firm pressure. Position designs care­ fully. You may steam- baste by simply touching the tip of the steam iron to a small section of each design, thereby melting just a bit of the fusible web. When each section is correctly placed, fuse de­ signs to background piece. Fuse the numbers, and complete the extra mark­ ings. Cut hanging strips, and fuse in place. This may be hung on a curtain rod, or tack to the wall. A Christmas design, an Easter design, or any or­ iginal motif may be done in the same way. With Phun Phelt,™ every day is a holiday.
