How to take care of summer spots, stains
Summertime, outdoor
activities, picnics and
stains seem to go together.
Removing spots
and stains
from
clothing and
washable
fabrics
LORENE BARTOS can be
Housewise
successful if
taken care of immediately
or as soon as possible after
they happen.
Put a stain stick in your
bag and in the car. A stain
stick can be used to treat
the stain immediately and
help with the removal
when you are ready to
launder the item.
Stain removal
guidelines:
■ Treat stain promptly.
Fresh stains are easier to
remove.
■ Test stain remover on
a hidden part of a garment
or item before treating the
stain.
■ Avoid excessive rubbing, which may damage
fibers or finishes, remove
color or spread the stain.
■ Working from the
wrong side of the fabric
forces the stain out of the
fabric, not through it.
The following suggestions are for use on washable fabrics only. Some
common summer stains
and suggested removal
procedures are:
Fruits and berries:
Soak in 1 quart warm
water, 1 teaspoon liquid
dish detergent and 1 tablespoon white vinegar for
15 minutes. Rinse. If stain
remains, sponge with
alcohol, rinse and launder.
If color stain remains,
launder using chlorine
bleach if safe for fabric, or
use an oxygen bleach.
Grass: Pretreat or presoak stains using a liquid
laundry detergent or a
prewash stain remover.
Follow the directions
on the product’s label.
Launder, using the hottest
water safe for the fabric. If
the stain persists, launder again using chlorine
bleach, if safe for the fabric, or oxygen bleach.
Mud and dirt: Let the
mud dry thoroughly. Brush
off as much dry mud/dirt
as possible. Pretreat with a
paste of powder detergent
and water, liquid laundry
detergent or a liquid detergent booster. Launder.
For heavy stains, pretreat
or presoak with a laundry
detergent or a presoak
product. Launder, using
the hottest water safe for
the fabric.

Craftsman details give a
nostalgic look to the Gatsby.
From the street, this looks like
a small ranch-style home,
but looks can be deceiving.
Designed for construction on a down-slope to the
rear, the home offers 2,100+
square feet of living space,
more than one-third of it in
the daylight basement. Wide
windows brighten each of the
basement’s four rooms: family
room, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The family room’s sliding glass doors lead out onto a
wide patio, partially covered by
the main floor deck above.
Handsome 6 by 6 wooden
posts, neatly trimmed out at
the top and bottom, support
the wide front entry porch.
Three centrally placed steps
bring people to a front door
flanked by sidelights. From
the inside, the door’s three
glass panes near the top let
in still more light while allowing insiders to see who is
outside. The stairway’s half
wall increases the foyer’s
sense of expansiveness.
Wide windows fill most of
the rear wall, in the naturally
bright combination living
room/dining room straight
ahead of the foyer. The widest
of these extends almost to the
gas fireplace. A sliding glass
door on the left slides open to
offer easy access to the rear
covered deck.
The kitchen is open to the
dining room, separated by a
peninsular counter. A gently
curved eating bar rims the
counter on the dining room
side. The Gatsby’s kitchen is
rich in counter and storage

■ Backyard
Continued from E1
Lasso golf, another
popular game, is called
ladder golf or Blongo ball
by some. Payzant explained that in the game,
two balls on a string are
tossed at a ladder. If they
wrap around the dowels,
you score points.
“It’s fun,” he said.
This time of year, with
July Fourth nearing and
lots of family reunions
on tap, Payzant said,
yard games are a popular
option to rent. The fee —
from $4 to $6 for most
games — allows people to
keep the games for four
days.
They have everything
from gunny sacks for
races to bulky tug-o-war
ropes to softball sets
that include nine gloves
and two bats (sorry, no
helmets).
Old-school games like
croquet and bocce are
on the shelves, too, but
Payzant said the newer
games like Lasso golf are
more popular.
Tim Ohlwiler, who
considers game playing part of his job at
Scheels, says Spikeball is
his most popular seller
right now. It’s kind of a
hybrid volleyball in which
a mini-trampoline is used
to bounce the balls from
one two-person team to
the next. The cost of the
game is about $50.
Another biggie is
Poleish horseshoes, also
called Bottle Bash, which
includes two poles that
go in the ground and are
topped by a “bottle.”
It comes with Frisbies,
which the two-person
teams use to knock off
the bottles. In the coolest
piece of tape to lift off the
remaining particles. Pretreat with a prewash stain
remover. Launder using
chlorine bleach, if safe
for the fabric, or oxygen
bleach.
Pine resin: Use a
solvent to remove oily
content, such as paint
thinner, mineral spirits or
a cleaning solvent (such
as Goof Off or Goo Gone).
Use laundry detergent and
water on the remaining
residue. Launder.
Rust: Use a commercial rust remover, most of
which are available in supermarkets and hardware
stores. These products
contain toxic acids, so be
sure to read and follow the
label directions carefully.
Never use chlorine bleach
or a product containing
chlorine bleach on a rust
stain. It will permanently
set the stain.
versions, the poles are
lighted. All of this can
only be done with one
hand, and the other is
usually holding a beverage, as seen in an instructive YouTube video. It
sells for about $60.
Watching a video
is helpful for most of
these games. Not only
do you get a sense of the
rules, but also the skills
involved.
Ohlwiler has been
pitching games for the
past four years and said
sales take off in May and
run right through the fall
with a healthy tailgating
season. Sales staff usually
try out new games, playing them and learning the
ropes, so they can pass
the information on to
customers, Ohlwiler said.
Although there are new
games hitting the market
every year, some of the
old standbys are still very
popular.
■ Croquet — No need
to wear fancy clothes
to play croquet in your
backyard. British in origin and popular since the
1860s, today’s croquet is
less about sticky wickets
and more about getting
back to the main stake
and becoming poison so
you can smack the other
Tomato-based stain,
such as ketchup: Remove excess with a dull
knife. Soak in cool water
for 30 minutes. Work liquid dish detergent into the
stain and launder in warm
or hot water and chlorine
bleach, if safe for fabric.
If stain remains, soak 30
minutes in enzyme presoak (such as BIZ). Rinse
and launder.
Make sure to put garments with stains in a
separate place so you remember to treat the stain
before laundering. Always
check the item to see that
the stain is gone before
putting the item in the
dryer, because heat may
set the stain.

players.
■ Cornhole — What
used to be called
simply “bean bag toss”
when you were in grade
school has now been
elevated to “cornhole.” It
still has a slanted board
with holes and bean bags,
but now many of the
boards are customized
with everything from
school logos to camouflage. Getting the bags in
the holes from across the
yard is still the object.
■ Bocce — This traditional Italian lawn game,
similar to shuffleboard,
also works just fine in the
sand on the beach. Tossing the colorful, weighted
balls to be nearest a
neutral “jack” ball is the
purpose.
■ Horseshoes — Using metal horseshoes,
each player tosses them,
trying to get closest to
stakes set up as a target to
gain points.
