I used that surgical spirit on my OHs expensive jeans, (didn't really know if I should, 🙀)
he got black oil on the pocket from somewhere, and I'm pleased to report it came out!
I was dreading telling him I'd ruined em by experimenting with the stuff....
But no, alls good.....😂😂. Phew....😥

Morning. Advice required.
I have a lovely, acrylic jumper which has been in the charity pile and back out again so often in the last 25 years ! but does good service. However, I can't remove the static. I don't use softener ......... it's had a cool rinse and gently spin. Would vinegar get rid of the static?

Hi CLKD, I find if I have a dress with this problem if I spray the inside with hairspray right before putting it on that works. Don't know why but does the trick.

Wear a 'marigold' glove to wipe round the inside of the drum worked when we had pets. Or wash affected clothing in a pillow case though it may escape from the opening

I keep forgetting to check pockets for tissues. DH is a frequent offender and should, of course, remove them, but forgets. It’s a nightmare removing bits off the clothes and from the washing machine. Any suggestions how I can train DH? He finds all my swearing and temper tantrums amusing!

Tissues are better now that they don't go into such small pieces
- I usually give the clothing a very good shake outdoors.

Sewing his pockets up might make the point!

I'm guilty of the tissues in pockets, but today went one better and covered a load of thermal Tshirts in tiny bits of down from a coat
I am so mad at myself right now. Trying to wash the Tshirts separately with everything crossed.
Anyway one place we lived we had a jacuzzi bath. They are wonderful at removing tissue etc. from clothes. Just pop the stuff in and give it a 5 minute "bath".

I find that on a blowy day hanging Ts on the line I can pick off the bits of washed tissue, great for birds' nests.
Still have a crackly jumper.

I made the mistake of washing a large red tablecloth with the towels. Covered with fluff. I used a clothes brush, which took ages and lots of swearing and then rewashed. Yet to iron and examine. Fingers crossed. Certainly looked better.
