- Is by using a washing machine
- Is by using hands but there are two
types under hand washing and
these are friction method – rubbing
one part of the fabric against
another piece in soapy water
- Kneed and squeeze method – this
involves immersing the fabric in
soapy water and gently kneading
and squeezing the soapy water in to
the fabric

 Drying
- Drying also has two ways of doing it
either sunshine by tumble drier ( a
machine )

116
APPROVED SYLLABUS FOR TT HOME MGT COMMUNITY

- A tumble drier has got instructions


on how you are supposed to use it,
how much heat you need
depending on the fabric and start
and off button
 Drying under sunshine – has got two
drying methods
- Line dry – this one you simply hang
the linen on the line with pegs , but
still under this same one you can
drip dry – meaning that you don’t
squeeze out the water completely
from the linen it dries while dripping
water
 Dry flat – this method you have to dry a
garment or linen laying it on a clean flat
surface
 Pressing – in pressing there are two
methods of pressing dry and steam
pressing
 In dry ironing – you use a dry pressing
iron on damp linen or even dry linen
which you can sprinkle water if is
difficult to iron.
 Steam ironing – in this method you use
a steam pressing iron which uses water
to produce steam you do not need to
sprinkle water on fabric when you are
using this method
 Drying - after articles are washed and
rinsed they need to be dried outdoors

117
APPROVED SYLLABUS FOR TT HOME MGT COMMUNITY

on sunshine. Drying can also be done


in a tumble dry

 Sorting – before you begin washing it is


important that you first sort out the
wash separate the whites from the
coloured ones

 Soaking – soaking is useful because


loose dirt is removed and water soluble
stains

 Stain removing – stains shold be


removed as soon as possible before
they have a chance to set on the fabric.
If you act quickly the stain may come
off by soaking in cold water

 Drying - after articles are washed and


rinsed they need to be dried outdoors
on sunshine. Drying can also be done
in a tumble dry

 Washing powder added to the water


removes many stains such as fruit
acids, tea or coffee

 Bleaching – removes the colour from


stains

118
APPROVED SYLLABUS FOR TT HOME MGT COMMUNITY

 Mending- mending holes and tears


before washing is also part of
preparation for laundering cloths

 Fabric softening (rinsing)


 Boiling – boiling removes some stains
such as perspiration

 Starching – it is done to loose fibres


inorder to make them stiff and crisp so
that they can last longer

 Ironing – after cloths have been dried


they need to be ironed inorder to
remove wrinkles

 Damping – fabrics are easier to iron


when they are damp then when they
are completely dry. Therefore it is best
to remove the artificial from the line
when they are completely dry
 Airing – it is important to air articles
thoroughly prefer folding or packing
them especially if you were sprinkling
water or if you were ironing damp

 Folding – articles that need to be stored


in wardrobes of drawers or an open
shelves

119
APPROVED SYLLABUS FOR TT HOME MGT COMMUNITY

 Hanging – some garments like dresses,


shirts and trousers are best not folded
inorder to avoid creases but are best
hanged on hangers
