Do not be afraid to buy them because of cleaning problems. Keep brightly colored fabrics away from direct sunlight. The colors «will fade faster, especially the blues and greens. Do not dry or store your colerful garments in sun or light. No dye is completely colorfast: therefore care must be taken when washing. A lower wash water temperature is recom- mended. Once a color loss occurs, the color cannot usually be restored. The arti- cle may be re-cyed but this is not always possible. For best results, have these fabrics drycleaned even if they are washable. Drycleaning temperatures are lower and cleaning solutions are gentler than the hot water and harsh detergents of wash- CAROUSEL CLEANERS Outside focation between Canada Trust & The Bay Mon Wed 6 30 to 6 30 pm Thun Fa 30 to 9.00 pm Saturday 6 3A} 12 530 pm Sunday 12.00 to $ Mp 922-4811 Park Reyal North Dollar Shopping Centre $29-4890 BRIDES-1O-BE BRIDAL .« you will want to attend the SHOWCASE Look what WELCOME WAGON has in store for you ... « Demonstrations » Exciting Gifts for every Bride-to-Be « Special Displays » Numerous Door Prizes Admission is FREE, but by invitation only.
