Lesson 1.1

TYPES OF FABRIC

Do you know that fabric is cloth made by weaving,


knitting, or felting fibers? We use fabric most often to make
clothing, from basic coverings to high performance sportswear. Clothing is
very important in our daily life, it is use to cover our body for protection,
safety, sanitation, modesty, identification, uniforms, styles and color
decoration. Fabric covers furniture, too.
Each of us would like to be complimented of being presentable, fresh
and clean not just in physical aspect but also the atmosphere at home that we
would like to create. In order to do so, we must choose fabrics that suits to
each uses.
Below are the types of fabric with their characteristics and its uses.

TYPES OF FABRIC

1. Woven fabric does not stretch except on the bias. Woven fabric is made
up of fibers which run straight at ninety degree angles to each other.

2. Knit fabric has loops of fiber that allow the fabric to stretch. The amount
and the direction of stretches are all variables. A knit may stretch in one
direction or it may stretch in both directions. This is an important
consideration when choosing fabric for a specific pattern. For example; A

140
LM-Household Services Grade 9

bathing suit pattern will require equal two way stretch. If you choose a
fabric that only stretches in one direction, the suit is not going to fit
properly and you can even get it on.

Lesson 1.2
FABRIC CARE

After knowing the type of stain, remember to read the


care labels of the fabric type you have. This will greatly help to avoid
any problems that can damage your clothes and linens.

Dry Cleaning

Dry clean only labels are usually found on garments made from
the fabrics such as:

Chiffon, felt, fur, gabardine, hessian, most suedes, sergeold chintz


Silk and viscose, some linens, tweed, Velvets and wools,velvet
brocade

Garments made from combination of fabrics that have different


laundering requirements will also be good for dry cleaning. After
cleaning fabric should be leave out to air for few hours before putting it
away.

Fabric Conditioner

Conditioners soften fabrics, reduce static and creasing and


make ironing easier, but detergents with built –in conditioners are not
as effective on stains as those without.

 Works well on perfume stains, ointments, suntan lotion, red wine, coffee,
yogurt, milk and cream.

Talcum powder
 Absorbing mineral useful for oil and grease stains
 Rub gently into the stain and leave for 30 minutes and brush off.

166
LM-Household Services Grade 9

Washing soda
 A hydrated sodium carbonate that is an excellent substitute for chemical
solvent stain removers.
 Good for greasy stains such as wax, lipstick and petroleum oil.
 Use as a spot stain remover by mixing to a paste with water

White Vinegar
 Natural mild bleach that dissolves dirt and grease and act as a water
softener.
 Makes an excellent bleach substitute without the noxoius chemicals or
fumes.
 Dilute ½ cup to 4.5 litres water as a general soaker.

Chemical

Amyl acetate.
 Used as a solvent and flavouring agent that is good for removing glue from non-acetate
fabric. Scruch up an absorbent cloth and place the front of the stain over it while you dab
on the wrong side.

Bleach
 Contains 3 % hydrogen peroxide, all fabric bleach and chlorine bleach
 3 % hydrogen peroxide, the mildest bleach and generally safe for all fabrics, then all
fabric bleach is mild which is generally safe for all fabrics and colours. While chlorine
bleach is the strongest bleach and should always be diluted before use.
 Always wear protective gloves

Colour removers
 Contain sodium hydrosulphite which works as a reductive bleach to remove dyes from
fabrics.
 Use it on whites, or if you intend to remove all colour.

Colour retainers
 These contain an organic dye – fixing agent that helps to set colours on non- colourfast
cottons and polyesters.
 Recommended for laundering home – dyed fabrics

167
LM-Household Services Grade 9

Colour whitener
 Sodium hydrosulphite and anhydrous sodium carbonate remove stains and whiten
fabrics you cant bleach such as net curtains and white nylon bras.

 General Rules for a Successful Stain Removal

1. Study the fiber content and finishing used in the cloth of


garment. Stain removers that work on vegetable fibers may not
be effective on animal fibers.

2. Test stain remover on the hidden part of the garment like seam
allowances before you apply it to the stain. This will prevent
unwanted discoloration and water spots on the fabric.

3. Remember what caused the stain: grease, oil, fruit paint, etc.
Folow direction given for any of these stains. If you cannot
remember, wash it first with water.

4. Prepare all equipment needed and place them within the


working area. Work on a clean table. You will need a pad of
clean white cloth to put under the stain while you are working on
it.

5. Work from the wrong side of the garment so that the stain will
not be forced all the way through the fabric from the right side.

6. Use stain remover in small amounts. Repeatedly, this is better in


removing stain than one single heavy dose.

175
LM-Household Services Grade 9

7. Work quickly and lightly in brushing motion with using white, lint-
free cloth or a sponge. Avoid spots and rings by using medicine
dropper when drops are called for.

8. Wash treated area thoroughly because residues left on the cloth


9. Dry the garment immediately to prevent rings.

Lesson 2.3
REPAIR OF FABRIC DAMAGES

We cannot avoid the fact that damages is one of


the common problems in clothes and linen especially if it is
frequently used, therefore it is necessary to be equipped with
knowledge and skills to treat such clothes and linen damages with or
without the use of sewing machine which definitely can save money
and its functionality.

Below are some of the common clothes and linen damages with
their procedural treatment.

1. Torn Seam

Step 1. Locate the torn seam. Turn the clothing


item inside out and pull gently at the
seam to locate the hole.

Step 2. Stitch up. Push the needle through the


seam just below the tear weave it through to
the other side of the seam and back again.
Continue the stich along the length of the
tear.

Step 3. Over stitch. From the point where you finished


your running stitch, insert the threaded needle
into one side of the seam and directly out the
other side. Then pull the cotton over the top to
repeat the stitch, entering from the same side as
before. Continue back along the length of the
tear. This secures the running stitches and
prevents the seam from fraying.

180
LM-Household Services Grade 9

Step 4. Cast off. Tie 2 or 3 simple knots at the


end of the stitches.

Step 5. Turn the item back around the right way.


Admire your hand work. As good as
new!

2. Re-sewing Buttons

Step 1: When sewing or re-sewing buttons, start by taking one or two


small stitches at the point where you are going to sew
the buttons.

Step 2: Pull the thread through the fabric and through one hole of the
button and place the button on top of the stitches.

Step 3: Make a thread shank that will allow easy buttoning by sliding a
pin or needle between the button and the thread. Sew through
by pushing and pulling the needle through each set of holes at
least five times or until the threads are thick enough to form a
shank.

Step 4: Remove the pin or needle. Pull up the button and wind the
thread around threads under the button. Make several small
back stitches under the button (back of the cloth) to secure the
stitches. Knot and Cut excess thread.

181
LM-Household Services Grade 9

3. Shank Buttons

Step 1: Start by taking two small stitches at the point where you are
going to attach the button. Make about four stitches
through the button shank and the fabric together.

Step 2:.Finish by making few backstitches through the button to


secure the stitches. Knot and cut excess thread.

Rip
A rip is an opening along a seam. You can easily repair it by
machine or by hand. Work on the wrong side of the garment. Sew
running stiches along the original stiches about an inch seamline.
Make additional stiches about an inch on both sides of the opening to
reinforce it and to prevent the rip from reopening.

4. Patching
Patching is cutting a piece of cloth of the same material to cover
a hole or a tear on garment.

Step 1: To make the hole easier to repair, cut around it with


small scissors to make a neat square or rectangle;
trim loose threads found on each corner of the hole,
cut a ¼ inch notch at a 45-degree angle. Turn
materials inside out. Fold square’s ¼-inch edges
onto materials wrong side out, and iron flat. Measure
mark, and cut out a square from a matching piece of
fabric. Make sure the patch is ½-inch bigger than the
hole you’re repairing.

Step 2: With fabric inside out, put patch on the top of hole;
match grain if necessary. Turn right side out, and
pin patch in place. Slip-baste all around the patch.
Remove pins

Step3: Turn shirt inside out. Fold back 1/2-inch excess of


fabric so it's flush with folded edge of hole, folding
corners over each other. Insert needle through folded
edge of patch; stitch up through folded edge of shirt,
joining the two fabrics. Continue all around182
square.
Remove basting thread.
LM-Household Services Grade 9

Step 4: Use a cross-stitch to finish edges of patch inside


shirt. Cut off tips of patch's corners at 45-degree
angles. Fold back each edge 1/4-inch. Cross-stitch the
edges to the shirt, picking up only one or two threads
with each stitch. Once the hole has been patched, iron
patch in place before turning shirt right side out. Iron
patch in place again if necessary.

5. Darning
Darning is repairing a hole by weaving in new
threads. It is usually done on sock heels or sweater
elbows of cotton and wool fabrics. The darning treads
should be of the same material as the fabric of the
garment. The thread should also be of the same
thickness of the garment thread.

Step 1: Make stiches that are closed and parallel with


one another across the hole, creating a thread
“ladder”. Make the stiches close to one another as
in the stitches of the original fabric
.

Step 2: Weave across, also weave back and forth


passing over and under the thread as you
keep the stiches loose but tight enough to
cover the hole completely. Secure the thread
end by slipping the needle on the wrong side
and by making several back stitches. Knot
and cut excess thread.

Learning Outcome 3:
Prepare washing of fabric supplies and equipment

Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the learner is expected to:
1. Check and prepare laundry supplies and equipment according to
standard operating procedures
2. Demonstrate washing in accordance with standard operating
procedures.

This lesson provides students with the opportunities and experience to


apply the knowledge, skills and attitude with the competencies in checking and
sorting clothes, linen and fabrics together with the proper selection of laundry
supplies and equipment in their daily activities at home.

Lesson 3.1

LAUNDRY SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT

These are primarily use to remove soil. There are


different kinds of detergents from mild to heavy-duty
depending on the kinds of linen and fabrics you are
about to wash. Therefore, one must be knowledgeable
in choosing the detergent so as not to damage the
clothes and fabrics.
Synthetic detergent contain surfactants which
increase the water’s wetting ability, loosen and remove
soil and suspend it in the washing solution. They are heavy-duty also contain
one or more “builders”. These are used to increase the cleaning capacity of

187
LM-Household Services Grade 9

surfactants. Some synthetic detergent contain whitening agents, color safe


bleach, enzymes and borax. These are all used to increase the basic
cleaning power of the detergent. Some detergents also contains fabric
softeners, which eliminates the need to add fabric softeners in the wash
water.
Heavy-duty detergents are used for very dirty clothes and linen and
can be used for all fabrics that are washable. Light-duty detergents, on the
other hand, are used for laundering delicate fabrics and baby clothes.
Ultra detergents are compact and highly concentrated. They are the
latest development in laundry products. They are available in both granular
and liquid form. They should be used in small amounts. The more common
detergent forms in the market are powder, granular, and bar.

Bleaches

These are very powerful chemicals. Avoid


using them directly on the fabric. Use them only on
white and colorfast fabrics. There are two kinds of
bleach:

 Chlorine – it is strong, fast acting and very effective for cotton,


linen, and synthetic fabrics. Use it sparingly and properly because it
weakens the fiber and causes integration or produces holes. Read
accompanying instructions before use.

 All- fabric/oxygen – This kind of bleach is milder than chlorine


bleach
It is used for delicate fabrics that require extra care. It acts on stain much
slower and less effective than chlorine bleach. It comes in dry and liquid
forms and it can be used in most washable silks and wools. Use liquid
oxygen bleach to treat stains. Add it to the wash water together with the
detergent, before clothes are immersed. Some garment manufactures
indicate a “no bleach” sign on the garment and must be strictly followed.

188
LM-Household Services Grade 9

SoapSoap is milder than detergents because they


are made of mild and natural materials. They are
very good for baby’s clothes and other delicate
garments.

Laundry Tools and Equipment

Washing machine

A washing machine is a machine use to


wash laundry, such as clothing and linens. The
term is mostly applied only to machines that use
water as opposed to dry cleaning. Washing
entails immersing, dipping, rubbing, or scrubbing
in water usually accompanied by detergents, or
bleach. The simplest machines may simply
agitate clothes in water while switched on;
automatic machines may fill, empty, wash, spin,
and heat a cycle.

Basin

An open, shallow, usually round container used


especially for holding liquids while washing clothes and
linens.

Water
A liquid used for washing clothes and linens. It is also
known as the universal solvent.

Washboard

A washboard is a tool designed for hand


washing clothing.

LM-Household Services Grade 9

Brush

Brush for removing dust and dirt from clothes

Laundry Working Habits

Better result of laundry is determined by good working habits, it will


also save time, money and energy, while poor working habits tend to waste
resources and time. Therefore, it is necessary to practice good working habits
to be successful in washing clothes, linens and fabrics.

1. Provide yourself with the enough space for washing.


2. Provide yourself with complete tools and equipment for washing.
3. Always work in a well-lighted place
4. Always use basin while rinsing to save water consumption.
5. Strictly follow laundry procedure.

Lesson 3.2

WASHING OF FABRIC

By this time, you already have background knowledge to the kinds of


fabrics your garments are made of and the care you should give attention
to. You are also familiar with the different stains, defects and its remedies.

You are now ready to wash your clothes! Here are the steps.

Step 1: Collect all your soiled items such as clothes and


linens.

Step 2: Sort clothes and linen and create piles of items


based on color and fabric type. In sorting always
remember to make these important checks before
every wash:

 Empty out pockets. One tissue can leave fluff on


an entire wash load.

 Do up zips. Left undone, they may snag other


clothes.

 Take out items that need sewing attention. A small


rip is likely to become larger through washing and
a small, loose button could disappear.

 Turn T- shirts with a pattern inside out.

 Put small delicate items, such as sheer tights


(nylons), into a mesh wash bag to protect them
from snagging.

 Load the drum (basket) loosely, alternating big and


small items.

 Follow instructions for the most delicate part of an


item with two or more materials. It may make

193
LM-Household Services Grade 9

sense to separate the two materials. For example,


you may want to detach a delicate lining from

strong but dirty curtains or remove a non washable


ribbon from child’s outfit.

 Be on the lookout for stains. Some may need pre-


treating. This is especially important for blood
emulsion (latex) paint, ink, rust, and grass which
becomes harder to shift if it sits in hot water.

 Separate light colored clothes from dark ones. All


white fabric should go together; light colored fabric
can join the pile. To avoid “painting” your light
clothes, separate your dirty laundry into white or
light (pale pastel shades) clothing and dark
clothing.

 Separate laundry by fabric or texture. Heavy


fabrics like denim jeans and towels require a
different washing –machine cycle than delicate
items (like bras and lingerie) or medium-weight
ones like sheets. Women’s lingerie, like bras, can
be damaged in machines. These items should be
done apart using the delicate cycle, though if you
don’t have the time to do an extra load, you can
put them in a special mesh bag that will protect
them if you throw them in the regular wash.

Step 3: Read the care label on clothing before washing

Some clothing can only be dry cleaned while other


clothing, like that made of wool, needs to be hand washed with
a special soap and dried by placing over a towel or rack.

Step 4: Choose the right setting


Washing machines have settings for water temperature.
Use hot water for light –colored items that are especially dirty or
smelly. Use cold water for dark clothes (especially new ones)
whose colors are more likely to bleed. Cotton items also require
cold water to avoid shrinkage.

194
LM-Household Services Grade 9

You’ll also see settings for load size, usually small, medium or large. If
your dirty laundry fills the machine to one third , then select small ; half way
full is medium; and three quarters full is large. Never stuff the machine,
because you need room for the water.

Step 5: Figure out laundry detergent, bleach, fabric softener to be


used

When you’re ready to wash your (separated) clothes, don’t just shove
them into the machine, dump in some detergent and turn on the machine.
There’s a process: First, fill your washing machine with water to about one-
third full, and then add the bleach if you’re using it. Next, add the detergent,
swish it around in the water to make sure it’s dissolved, and then add your
clothes.

 Detergent

How much laundry detergent you need will depend


on the size of your load. Always read the instructions on
the laundry detergent container so that you know how
much to put in. Some detergents are more concentrated
so require less detergent.

 To bleach or not?

If you have clothes that are especially dirty or if


you like your whites to be as white as possible, you can
add bleach. But be careful –all bleaches aren’t made the
same, so be sure to read the product labels carefully.

Chlorine bleach – is great for making white clothes


whiter, especially cotton and linen. Never use chlorine –
based bleaches on colored fabric, because it’ll take the
color right out.

All fabric bleach – is made just for colors and


chlorine –sensitive fabrics.
-If you’re washing machine doesn’t have a
bleach dispenser, then always dilute the bleach with
water before it touches your clothes.

195
LM-Household Services Grade 9

- The “hardness” of your water can affect


how bleach works, so test it on some clothes you don’t
care about it.

 Using fabric softener

If you like your towels to be soft and fluffy, add


liquid fabric softener to the rinse cycle. (Many washing
machines have special dispenser for liquid fabric
softener. You fill this dispenser at the beginning of the
wash cycle, and the machine automatically releases it at
the proper time.)

Step 6: Put the dirty items in machine.

Don’t overload the machine. If you pack it too tightly, there’s less room
for the machine to agitate the dirt out of your washing. The best way to get a
correct load is to weight it to fit in with your machine capacity. As a very rough
guide, if you have more than 15 items, you’ve put in too much.

Steps in washing clothes, linens, and Fabrics (hand washing procedure)

Step 1. Collect all your soiled clothes and


linens from the rooms, or
wherever you keep them. Keep in
mind to look under your bed.
Make sure you find everything.

Step 2. Sort clothes and linens into piles.


There are two important
consideration here: What kind of
fabric is it (as in sheets, towels,
bathrobes, napkin, and rags) and
what color.

196
LM-Household Services Grade 9

a. All whites should go with only whites ( or very light colors if the
item has been washed many times);
b. Then put all the reds, pinks, and oranges in separate pile ( Never
keep this close to the white pile as you will be wearing pink shirts
for a long time);
c. Then, depending on how much more you have left, put the other
colors together, possibly into a lighther (e.g. grays, yellows, light
blues) and darker pile (blacks, dark blues, brown, green, purples).

Step 3. Washing time:

- Fill your basin with water.


- Add ¼ cup of detergent to the water
and mix it around. Soak clothes and
linens inthe water for a while if there
are any stains. This will minimize your
work for washing.

Start washing clothes after the other.


Knead the clothes and linen in the
water and twist them.

Step 4. Rinse each clothing and linen until


the detergent is gone. You may also use fabric
softener.

197
LM-Household Services Grade 9

Remember:
Washing with the use of washing machine – performs washing in
accordance with standard washing procedures.

Step 5.Hang your clothes and linens and let it


dry.

a. Identify clothes that can be hung on the


clothes line or hunger.
b. Pin up the clothes (use a plastic clothes
hanger to dry delicate fabrics.)
c. Fold the clothes as you take them of the
clothes line.

Remember:
You may also use drying machine as alternative especially during rainy
season. Use dying machine in accordance with standard drying procedure .

213
LM-Household Services Grade 9

Reminder:
If you are ironing more than one item. Begin with one that uses the
lowest setting on the iron.

Do you know that ironing is different from pressing? To iron is you


generally go over the entire garment with long, smooth stokes, while pressing
involves lifting and lowering motions just where there are wrinkles. So, it’s
important to know the specific procedures on ironing different clothes.

Specific Procedure of Ironing


Shirt/Polo

Step 1 Unbutton the shirt all the way; don't forget the sleeves and collar.
Step 2 Lay the shirt flat on the ironing board.
Step 3 Start by ironing the back of the shirt; lay it "face down".
Step 4 Move the iron up and down, working your way along the shirt. Don't
keep the surface of the iron on the fabric for more than a few seconds,
or else your shirt will burn.
Step 5 Once you're done ironing the back, work your way along each side of
the article, by gradually rotating the shirt to each side of the ironing
board.
Step 6 Now on to the sleeves. Lay the shirt on the ironing board so that the
sleeve you are ironing is parallel to the ironing board.

214
LM-Household Services Grade 9

Step 7 Press the back and front of each sleeve, and make sure to maintain
the shirt's creases. Don't forget to iron the opened cuff of each sleeve.
Step 8 Last but not least, iron both sides of the shirt collar, then iron the
folded collar to maintain its creases.

When you’re done with the shirt, hang it up on hanger, where it’ll be ready until
the next time you wear it again

Pants
Step 1 Iron pockets. Turn pants inside out. Iron pockets first, laying the flag
against the board.

Step 2 Iron the fly of the pants, then the seam and hem of the first leg. Go
back and forth for a nice, flat finish. Repeat on opposite leg. Then
turn the pants right-side out.

Step 3 Iron the waistband. Slip the waistband around the board’s narrow
end, with the fly facing the floor. Iron waistband, rotating pants
around the board as you go.
Tip. Iron lightly over the pockets to avoid creating creases with their outline.

Step 4 Iron legs. Fold the pants lengthwise to line up the legs, then lay
pants on the board. Flip one leg up to iron the inside of the bottom
leg, working in sections all the way to the crotch. Then flip pants over
to iron the outside of that leg. Repeat this step on the other pant leg.

Tip. To avoid a side crease, iron just out to (but not directly over) the edge of
the leg.

Step 5 Set creases with steam. To create a front crease on your legs, align
inseam and lay pants on board. Iron directly over the edges of the
legs or give pants a burst of steam along the edge while holding the
iron a few inches above the fabric.
Tip. Hang pants right away- and don’t forget to unplug your iron.
