Vinyl Needs Proper Care If your school wardrobe this weason includes any of that wonderful shimmery, wet-look- fing vinyl such as a coat, jacket, hat, purse, boots or shoes, best you bone up on its care. While this sleek fabric never meeds see the inside of a dry cleaning establishment .. . a big money saver, it still needs some tender attention to retain its sharp colors and polish. To guide you, here are a few pointers that assure your vinyls of a long bright life. Keep in mind if caught in a storm not to park wet vinyl atop a radiator. One good shake and it sheds water like a duck. A quick wipe with a turkish towel absorbs remaining mois- ture. Never try ironing vinyl. One of the appealing features of this material is that creases can be smoothed out with your hand. When packing a coat or jacket, use a little tissue paper or some nylon lingerie to keep vinyl from touching vinyl as it has a tendency to stick to itself. To keep the colors sharp, periodic cleanings are in order. There's a fine invisible film of air-borne grease that clings to everything and dust that adheres has a dulling affect. This will be more pronounced in cities than it is in the country and suburbs. One of the most effective cleaners is kitchen-shelf baking soda ap- plied dry with a damp sponge, for it delivers the needed scour power while lacking the con- ventional cleaner's tndency to scratch. Scratches, of course, are death on vinyl, for once the surface is scarred dirt is trapped for good. A bad scratch also invites cracking. Often you can simply spot- clean an area on a boot, for example, or a coat, but if the cleaned part comes out sev- eral shades lighter than the rest it's time for an overall soda sponge-down. Since plastic accoutrements around the house such as show- er curtains, soap dish, bath- room glass, dish drainer, gar- bage pail and even furniture upholstery share the carefree life of vinyl, they also share the need for kitchen baking soda's decisive but gentle cleaning action to retain their looks. Pass this tip on to moth- er and it may earn you a raise in allowance.
