When my col- ors get mixed up in the laundry and I accidentally dye a load because the color bled, I reverse it with Rit color remover, available wherever Rit dye is sold. It works every time, even on red. -- Lou, Florida DOWN COMFORT. I finally got my nerve up to wash my feath- er quilt in the washing machine. It turned out beautifully! I washed it in warm water on the gentle cycle. Then I fluffed it in the dryer with three tennis balls. The balls bounced around and kept the com- forter from getting all bunched up. -- Eve H., e-mail DRAIN BRAIN. Whenever I get a mesh bag -- such as one that holds citrus fruit -- I cut it up and thread a string through the mesh. I attach it to my washer's outtake hose to catch the lint and other debris to prevent the drain from clogging. It works just as well as those lint catchers that cost up to $2 each and have to be changed often. -- Diane S., Ohio C AT C H I N G COLORS. I keep the colors in my clothing from running with Color Catchers, from Shout. They are like dryer sheets, and I use them all the time in my colored laundry. They absorb any dye that runs in the water so that it doesn't affect the other clothing in the load. -- Elaine K., Nebraska SUDS SAVER. I make sure that I get every last drop of laun- dry detergent out of each bottle. After I have used as much detergent as possible, I get at least two more loads' worth of suds by adding water to the container to rinse it out. -- Kim H., e-mail WET CLEANING. The cost of dry-cleaning my suits is breaking my budget. Recently, I experiment- ed on an older suit. The label said "Dry Clean Only," but it also said the suit and the lining were 100 percent polyester. I pre-treated the soil on the collar and put it in my washer on the gentle cycle with mild detergent. I put it in the dryer on low heat for a few minutes and then hung it up to dry. To my amazement, the suit came out nicer than it did after it was dry-cleaned. I saved at least $15. -- Sally P., Ohio STAIN MAVEN. I've removed serious stains of both red wine and olive oil from clothing with Lestoil, which is a household cleaner known for cutting grease. I pre-treat the tough stains by applying the Lestoil (available at Amazon.com, if not local- ly) directly to the fabric. Then I wash the items as I normally do. I always have had success removing challenging stains with Lestoil. -- Sarina, e-mail Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

Six thousand Ponderosa pine trees were planted by children and adults from Girl Scouts of the USA, Boy Scouts of America, Frontier Girls, 4-H chapters and other youth organiza- tions. The area was burned during the Station Fire in June 2008 and was the site of Scouting for Trees last year also. "We planted Ponderosa pine trees today to add some diversity," said Bob Ramirez, a forester for the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. "There's Knobcone pine here that seeds itself and comes back naturally, so we're planting Pon- derosa, too." Ramirez said planting the trees will help deter ero- sion in the burned areas and allows the landscape to recover faster than if left alone. Trees were planted on steep slopes and hard-to- reach areas by older chil- dren, while younger chil- dren were able to contribute in less challenging areas. "We planted trees down by the picnic areas, too, so hopefully they can provide some shade and aesthetic beauty in years to come," Ramirez said. The Boy Scouts of America celebrate its cen- tennial in February and this is the 60th year the Shasta- Trinity National Forest has sponsored Scouting for Trees, so this is a significant year, according to Kathleen Jordan, program manager for the forest. "There is a real interest in connecting youth to their public lands," Jordan said. "The kids get a hands-on experience of planting trees in a fire-damaged area, and they learn the importance of this kind of effort." The scouts also met some of the requirements for earning badges. Each participant received a special com- memorative patch and appreciation card, plus an event T-shirt. Conservation education activities and a hot lunch were provided. Partners in the event included the U.S. Depart- ment of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Northern California District; Youth Program Supporters of Shasta, Tehama and Trinity Counties; Rotary Club of Redding; Society of Ameri- can Foresters, Northern California Society, Wyn- toon Chapter; and the Cali- fornia Conservation Corps, Redding Satellite.
