Everything Changes

The more messed up this world gets, the more God makes sense.

Wash, Fold & Dry

They have places that will do your laundry for you. Although I have become quite comfortable doing my own laundy [after that unfortunate "first time" incident in college when I put too much soap in - whoops] I probably should have sent my items out for "professional" cleaning tonight.

But the website said I could wash them myself! I even put a tennis ball in like it said!

1929. I'm sure it was a very good year. With, perhaps, the exception of the "Crash of 1929"... but I DIDN'T crash tonight. I just decided to do some laundry. [Washing two goose down pillows with a 1929 tag on one of them.] THEY WERE MY GRANDMA'S! THEY WERE DUE FOR A WASH! And, I guess I was due to clean up a LOT of feathers!

:-|

It seemed like such a good idea. After all, I was washing my bedding and blankets... surely I could wash my pillows - especially since I have personally never washed them. [Yes, that's gross, I know. But if you want GROSS, you should have seen the dirt that came out of those suckers... yuck.] But the dirt wasn't the bad part. In fact, that's the whole reason I wanted to wash them!

The online article said - "Wash the pillow in cold water using a detergent that has a degreaser so that oils are removed. Follow the pillow manufacturer's instructions for specific detergents to use. Very gently squeeze out any excess water from the pillow after washing. Dry the pillow with the dryer set on its lowest setting; put a tennis ball in with the pillow so that the fill doesn't pack or clump as it dries."

Okay, so I don't know if my detergent had a degreaser in it. Maybe so. But I DID put a tennis ball in the dryer! [Right after I cleaned out a ton of 80 year old goose feathers from the washer!!]

[Ugh. Someone came into the laundry room in my apartment building to wash their clothes. Hopefully my pillows get fluffed in time for me to clean up the rest of the feathers flying around the dryer before my neighbor needs to use it!]

I DON'T think those washing instructions applied to 77 year old pillows ....

Speaking of feathers ...
Time to stuff the turkey.
Happy Thanksgiving !!!!!
