markm Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) I've always washed mine on wool setting on the machine and used asda wool hand wash liquid. If they are heavily soiled I put them on a rinse cycle first. Edited August 21, 2016 by markm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B25Modelman Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Send them to me. I leave my dirty clothes on the landing floor and they appear cleaned, ironed and folded in my wardrobe inside a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 B25Modelman-sounds like you may have a Homo sapien Domesticus in your house - short ,fat snarly beasts that normally hide in the kitchen - my kids call ours "The Tea and Cake Fairy" - leave a mail order catalogue on a dimly lit table and it should emerge within minutes.

That description reminds me of when I worked in the states. A guy from Texas described his wife to me...ya see that thar cabinet (he pointed to a 4 drawer unit about 4 foot high) weeellll she's abowt same height and twice as wide.
