THE BASICS OF LAUNDRY SEEM STRAIGHTFORWARD, BUT SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE STAIN REMOVAL REQUIRES AN ADVANCED DEGREE. CHECK OUT THESE EASY TIPS.
SAY GOODBYE TO STAINS
GRASS: These stains contain a pigment that sticks to clothing fibres. The secret is to act fast, soaking the stain in cold water as soon as possible. Once the garment is really soaked with water, use a cleaning agent like white vinegar or rubbing alcohol to treat the stain.
RED WINE: With a wine stain, it’s all about the dab - rubbing the stain can set it further. Dabbing complete, apply salt liberally to the stained area, let it dry and then wash with cold water and a mix of detergent and baking soda.
LIPSTICK: Kiss away lipstick stains by pretreating with a solvent-based stain removal product (or a bit of liquid detergent). Allow the stain remover to work for at least 15 minutes and then wash the garment in the hottest water possible for the fabric – be sure to read the care label.
SAUCES: Can’t eat pasta without spilling tomato sauce on your top? Simply apply dish detergent to the stain and rub with an ice cube. Once the
stain has faded, blot it with a clean cloth soaked with vinegar and wash as usual.
OIL AND GREASE: Start by covering the stain in baby powder or cornstarch as quickly as possible – the powder will soak up much of the grease or oil. After about 30 minutes, dust off any excess powder and give the garment a wash on the hottest water-setting possible for the fabric.
Still feeling stymied by stains? Modern laundry appliances are making it easier than ever to tackle tough ones with pre-determined settings. GE Appliances’ new washers, for example, come with a Stain Removal Guide feature: simply push a button based on the stain you’re treating and the machine will automatically adjust the water temperature, spin speed, wash action and soak time.

3 THINGS YOU NEED TO DO THIS YEAR FOR A
A HEALTHY LAWN IS A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO ADD VALUE TO YOUR PROPERTY AND CREATE AN ENJOYABLE SPACE FOR OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING. IT ALSO ENHANCES THE ENVIRONMENT BY FILTERING RAINWATER, ATTRACTING BIRDS AND GOOD INSECTS, AND ABSORBING POLLUTION.
Regular maintenance and a watchful eye for potential problems can help you make the most of your personal oasis while contributing to a beautiful, vibrant urban environment. Here are some tips to help make your outdoor space one of the best on the block:
MOW HIGH
It’s best to keep the blade of your lawnmower raised for a 2.5 to 3 inch cut to help a strong root system develop in the lawn and discourage weed growth.
It’s also a good idea to alternate your mowing pattern and mow often enough that you aren’t removing more than a third of the grass.
WATCH FOR PESTS
IT’S NOT UNCOMMON FOR YARDS TO COME UNDER THREAT FROM INSECTS, WEEDS AND DISEASES. A SMALL NUMBER OF WEEDS OR BUGS IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. AND IF YOU CATCH A PROBLEM BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF HAND, YOU WILL HAVE AN EASIER TIME DEALING WITH IT.
Urban pesticides can help manage these threats and keep outdoor spaces healthy and enjoyable. They come in consumer formulations that are specifically made for use by homeowners. Products on store shelves are approved by Health Canada before they are made available to consumers to ensure they’re safe for people, pets and the environment.
WATER EARLY AND DEEPLY
The best time to water your lawn is in the early morning when you’ll lose less moisture to evaporation. Watering in the evening can leave your grass susceptible to disease.
Try watering deeply 1-3 times per week instead of everyday. That will encourage deep root growth and help your grass survive in drought conditions. Make sure to follow any watering restrictions that may be in place in your neighbourhood. ◆ newscanada.com
