MAINTENANCE OF HOUSEHOLD LINEN
Maintenance of household linen is done through the following:
- Dirty or soiled linen such as bed sheets should be kept in a covered basket or laundry bag until they can be laundered.
- Some linen such as napkins and floor cloths should be washed immediately after each use.
- Care must be taken to remove all stains during the washing process.
- Washed linen should be properly ironed.
- Air the linen properly.
- Fold the aired linen properly.
- Heavy linen such as bed sheets should be stored in dry airy shelves in a cupboard. Storage shelves should be strong.
- Small light articles, such as tea cloths, napkins, place-mat, may be kept in drawers.
- Cover stored linen with muslin or other suitable material to prevent dust from settling on them.
- Similar articles, e.g. sheets, pillow cases, towels, etc. should be kept together.
- Mend the linen as soon as a tear is noticed.
- Keep linen in good repair as long as possible.
