Blue Breton Jumper

[Tilly2]

I have washed aforesaid jumper today with a tissue up the sleeve! I now have a lovely dark blue jumper covered in tiny white bits of tissue!

I have tumble dried it and the bits are still there. B*****!

Any tips on retrieving it?

would 600mg of ibuprofen have worked better?

Useful tip to know.

[pastafreak]

Oh wow! Who'd have thought that would work?

[Tilly2]

It was a bit disconcerting when I put the jumper in the water. It seemed to be covered in bits of undissolved aspirin! It looked even worse.

I left it in soak for two hours.

Wow! Worth knowing that!
Lol.. jno!!

[Tilly2]

Jno, Sqad might know the answer to that. :-)

Great tip, I'm always doing that. Did you use dissolving aspirin Tilly?

[diddlydo]

If it "cost a fortune" why on earth did you put in the tumble dryer rather than putting it on the line for a good blow which would have got rid of most of the bits of tissue????

Glad it worked, Tilly.....and what a brilliant tip to know for the future.....thanks, Mazie..x

Jno - 'let it go, Tilly, tissues are easy and cheap to replace.'

it's a win win, no more bits on your jumper and it won't get a headache

[Tilly2]

Diddly, It had been out on the line. I put it in the tumble dryer to try to remove the bits. That usually works.

I just used ordinary aspirin, Margo.

It gave me a headache trying to shift the tissue, Ael, but I ran out of aspirin!

[mazie]

So pleased it worked Tilly. Next wash maybe put a couple more in to he rid of the last few bits xx

shoota, I regret I have but one baby to give my country, and he's 8 foot tall and hungry, but if you post an email address I'll send him over.
