She goes out for the day so in it goes, hot wash, then I forgot to turn it back to cold wash, the next wash was the daughter's white things that turned sort of darkish cream and smelt like a drizabone (cowpat sort of smell), tried to deny it but didn't work - she got over it in the end. life goes on :)

I've tried similar things in the past but SWMBO has a mind like an elephant and never forgets!

I shrunk her custom made table cloth for her markets in a similar incident. I swear it's still held against me!

I'm impressed ...... with anyone who can afford to FILL his V8....

i have tried the dishwasher method, but i got one out of a mates rental house after the tenants kicked up a stink about needing a new one,

it now lives in my garage, simply as a parts washer, I do have to open it up for a good clean out and service shortly, but i will add the cheap dishwasher tabs from coles and woollies are fine for car parts,

so clean u could eat off them!
