The Chinese Laundry in the film Bugsy Malone!

No you can only have one dryer on a 240v circuit and nothing else can be attached to it either considering your using a 240v electric dryer

You can use fabric softener or dryer sheets and stuff but other than that i dont know.

sometimes depending on the workout.

Jim's bag is 60 inches long, Jorge's sleeping bag is 72 inches long, and Steve's sleeping bag is 68 inches long. Jorge's sleeping bag is the longest.

you just sleep more or stay up late and then sleep to 12pm

You then have clean clothes to start the new year.

Tide, Cheer, Fab, Purex, Oxidol. These are just a quess by the way.

no because it has protein and fiber made by a silk worms cacoon, so it does not shrink..

We have a Kenkotherm comforter that we have machine washed at least twice with no ill effects.

If you don't have a lint remover, use masking or scotch tape - unroll/wrap it around your hand sticky side out, then pat the fabric down until it's covered with lint to the point there's no adhesive showing. If it needs more, redo the procedure.

Another way is by using a dryer and a fabric softener sheet that you put in a dryer with a load of clothes. Just set the temperature to a low setting, then put the two in. The fabric sheet neutralizes the static which holds the lint on, and the dryer (if it's a good one) should pull the lint off. Of course it depends on the fabric in question as to whether or not you can do it this way. The tape method is the easiest.

CAUTION! It depends. Some Micro fabrics are rated for water and some are not. You need to find the designation of your fabric. You will ruin the microfiber if you use the wrong method.

if you dont know how to lower an iron board you probaly should not be ironing

Is a microfiber raincoat machine washable?

My GE washing machine does not wring my clothes dry enough what do i need to do?

The spin cycle is not working well. You can try running the spin cycle a second time. Also, make sure that you have not overfilled the machine. In my experience, this is the main reason for replacing an older machine.

In many cases, there was a laundress for every 17-20 men, 4 per company. The laundress was in the army and paid by the guys. Ballparking it, she got like, .50 monthly from each enlisted man (this was deducted before he got paid) and anywhere from $1-$2. for an unmarried officer, up to $4. monthly for a married officer. If the officers had families, the family's laundry was extra, usually per piece as agreed upon by the officer and the laundress. She got a tent, rations, a hatchet, and surgeon's services were available to her. Laundresses were sometimes wives of the officers, freed women/slaves or just women experiencing hardship who needed to work. The women were usually attached somehow to a male soldier. The laundry, sometimes known as Suds Row, was in camp or a fort. Laundresses did not accompany the men when they were on the move. It was an incredibly hard, exhausting and time consuming job.

There is a wonderful and very informative youtube video that will walk you through the process if you search under Civil War Laundry

No. Early fabric softeners incorporated "treated" tallow, oil or fat mixed with a bit of soap in some kind emulsion to cut the "harsh" feel that cotton and similar fabrics picked up when dried. The new softeners are wonders of modern chemistry, and will contain fatty alcohols that are pretty much all derived from plants rather than animals. There are a number of other chemicals in softners that act to fortify or produce different features. Silicon compounds will usually be present, as will agents to reduce foaming, as well as add fragrance and color to the product. If you've got a bit of patience and access to the net, you can grab a product label and educate yourself. Most if not all the information is there online. A link is provided below for further reading. You don't have to be a chemist to understand the "gist" of the article, but some of the data are going to be a bit on the "compelx" side. And there is always WikiAnswers for more information. Best of luck sorting things out.

• Read all labels to be sure you don't have any specific cleaning requirements to follow. Most sheets can be washed at home in your washing machine, but specialty fabrics may require careful consideration.
• Use the hottest water setting on your washing machine that is safe for the material. Polyester blends are best washed using warm water, while cotton can tolerate hot water. Hotter water kills the most germs and takes care of dust mites that thrive in bedding.
• Wash at least once every other week. Although it is sometimes easy to forget to wash your sheets, think of it this way: Some people spend more time in bed than they do in their clothing. We wash our clothing regularly, so bed sheets shouldn't be any different.
• Separate by color. Just like clothing, dark colors or reds can dull or bleed onto lighter colors.
• Hang sheets to dry outside, if possible. Sunshine is a natural disinfectant and helps brighten whites. If you can, do this every couple months. If weather or time doesn't permit, tumble dry your sheets with a sheet of fabric softener.

Definitely yes.

There is chemical residue left over from the dyeing and manufacturing process - same with new clothes. Your skin is your largest organ and you don't want to be absorbing those chemical compounds.

I would say, even if you are buying organic cotton sheets -

it would still be a good idea to wash them

... and best to wash in soap that has no harsh chemicals - like

this goes for clothes as well!!!

Knocking down a wall in the home will cost approximately $2000, with the potential for additional costs for rewiring the electrical, rerouting the plumbing, restructuring the roof, or any other structural consideration. Adding a plumbing and electrical hookup to an unplumbed room will cost approximately $5000.

It is not recommended to wash clothes that have gasoline on them in a washing machine. The gasoline can be a fire hazard inside the machine and can also pose a risk of leaving residue in the machine, which could be dangerous when washing other clothes. Instead, it is best to hand wash the clothes in a well-ventilated area using gloves and a mild detergent.

hi put them in the toilet and make them wet it works alot better!

NO! Don't put Uggs in the dryer. It will ruin the Ugg fabric. Let it air dry instead.

Not a good idea. Water can fade the color, and change that nice texture.
