ASK WAYNE

Graduated 1962 fram the
International Fabricare Institute in
Silverspring, Maryland.

Q. is white a color?

+ Spring brings out the brightest of
colors. Reds, pinks, yellows, blues and
white, Whites? Yes, white is a color. And
if you want to keep your whites white
(instead of yellow or gray}, read on.

In their natural state, many fabrics have
an off white or yellowish cast and are,
therefore, often bleached to rernove their
natural color, Manufacturers also often
add optical brighteners which make fab-
rics appear whiter and — brighter.
Occasionally, these agents break down,
causing the fabric to revert to its natural
off-white or yellowish color.

Exposure to light can break down flores-
cent brighteners, causing the areas not
exposed to light to be unaffected. Thus,
the front of a sweater laid out to dry in the
sun may turn yellow while the back
remains white. Once this happens, it usu-
ally can’t be corrected.

Graying of whites is another story. Dingy
fooking whites are most often caused by
incomplete soil removal over an extended
period of time, despite repeated wast
ings.

‘The best advice is to trust your clothing to
an IFi member professional drycleaner.
He knows how to keep your whites look-
ing their erry
