(cor, Celina) VELVET AND YOUR SHOWER What--you're probably asking yourself has velvet to do with my shower? Well, if you own a velvet or velveteen garment your shower can ploy a very important part in keeping it lustrous between trips to the cleaners. Because of the nature of the fabric your velvet gown, suit or skirt can become lifeless looking just hanging in the closet. So, next time you plan to wear it, try this. Draw the shower curtain and get up @ good head of steam from the shower, Be sure to keep the door shut while doing this, When the room is full of billowing steam hang your garment on the curtain rod and brush the nap softly with a clothes brush. Youll be amazed with the results of this "do-it- yourself" steam heat treatment, Just make sure you turn off the shower before hanging your velvet on the rod. We get more ruined velvet garments that way ! Of course, your beautiful velvet clothes deserve the perodic | to restore them to their original rich appearance. When the time comes for this you can be sure they will receive special care at our finishing table, This Is @ iob thet requires special skill and "know-how", ahd we have e It goes without saying that no matter what the fabric is, when you send your dry cleaning to us your clothes will receive in- dividual attention and special handling. Hope you'll join me here again next week for more hints about the care of clothes and fabrics.
