ventaSo, last night, being a wild and crazy sort of individual, I thought I'd do some washing. Rummaging through the laundry bin, sorting things into loads, I realised that a lot of my favourite clothes were lurking in a carrier bag in there - the things which belong in that most annoying of categories: handwash only.
I boldly started on the handwashing, but rapidly lost interest. I eyed up the pile of white and cream things, and decided they could take their chance in a 30-degree program in the washer. In they went, looking a little frightened, with me doing my best to reassure them that they'd be OK.
Later on, the first thing out the machine was my lovely, embroidered white overshirt. It had, of course, survived the wash perfectly. However, the tomatoes (or something) I'd spilt down the front hadn't come out :(
The label insists the shirt should be handwashed at 30, and it's already been through a machine at 30. The label tells me the shirt is "100% RAMIO/RAMIE/ROSTSZAL (RAMIO)" (I assume one of those is English?) Does anyone have any useful recommendations for getting stubborn tomatoey stains out of a (potentially) fragile material ? To be honest, I'm expecting that the fragility is down to the embroidery, not the material itself.
Everything else survived the washer, too. Of course. Bloody attention-seeking handwash-only garments.
