SUPPLEMENT TO THE AAcHENRY PLAINDEALER PAGE 20 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11. It77 Something Cleopatra would have envied . Plan a multi-purpose laundry work center Whether or not "it all comes out in the wash" can definitely be influenced by the kind of home laundry equipment you purchase--a decision that should be based on durability, serviceability, energy savings, and cost. But careful thought and planning in home laundering should not stop there, ac­ cording to experts at Speed Queen, who stress the impor­ tance of developing a con­ venient laundry center that can serve many functions. Today, with some 80 per cent of the fabrics in the home machine- or hand- washable, laundry areas are "coming out of the closet" and into prominent view. A good "washing well" combines functionally with any number of other activities--an entertainment area with a sink and conven­ ient cupboards, or a combi­ nation sewing-laundry area. Fancy or plain, there are a few essential ingredients for planning efficient laundering facilities. Following are some basic "laundry laws" from Speed Queen to keep in mind: * • Install your washer and dryer in the area of your home that will require the least amount of traipsing back and forth--keeping in: mind locations of existing Give your home the royal touch with a regally remodeled bath plumbing, electrical and gas connections and dryer vent-; ing. • Lighten laundry chores by installing an easy-to-clean work surface for sorting and folding. | A conveniently-located table could double as a sew­ ing center that includes a ma­ chine, and space for laying out and cutting fabric. • Choose stain- and mar- resistant counter tops, instal­ ling them at a comfortable level geared to your own height. Wall paint, paper, and flooring or carpeting that are easy to clean will all pay easy-care dividends for laun­ dry and play time. • Allow room for several containers for soiled clothes, sorting each type appropri­ ately, so later re-sorting won t be necessary before SURPASS CLEOPATRA IN BATHING LUXURY with a washing. Speed Queen washers provide complete automatic wash cycle con­ trols for all types of fabrics from delicate to permanent press.
