We would get so dirty that we had to change clothes at the rig for the ride home. I chased that iron for several years until I found a cleaner and better job.

Use outside washer." Outside was a large tub, a rack for hanging and a stepped down pressure washer, and a dedicated dryer with special filters. The water was nice and hot, and the system worked well. Local word had it that they charged a $100 fine for doing horse blankets inside, because then someone had to clean out the washing machine. <br /><br />LittleRed1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-81903662550634512272017-01-04T08:32:44.406-06:002017-01-04T08:32:44.406-06:00One horse blanket or comforter is about all the lo...One horse blanket or comforter is about all the local laundromat machines will hold. I know because the dog got sick all over our bed on Monday so it was off to the Wash and Tan for clean up duty.<br /><br />The local laundromat is like a meeting of the UN. During my visit there were a wide variety of races and nationalities plugging quarters into washers and dryers in peace and harmony.<br /><br />Gerry Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-28891865830994390262017-01-04T04:13:01.313-06:002017-01-04T04:13:01.313-06:00Tip for oil-soaked fabric: soak in dishwashing liq...Tip for oil-soaked fabric: soak in dishwashing liquid first.
