Clothes Washing,
« on: Jan 04, 2018, 12:06:55 PM »

A lot of my newer jumpers and shirts say wash at 40 degrees centigrade and my older ones generally say 30.
Yesterday I put one of the 30 degree shirts in a 40 degree wash in error.
It has come out ok. I am just wondering if anybody knows if washing my 30 degree clothes at 40 would do any damage if I did it more than once,

I wash my clothing on a 30 deg wash.. Bedding I wash at a higher temp.
It won't hurt washing on a 40 deg Brian. They do encourage washing at 30 because it is kinder to  the environment
Everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, its not the end.

You'll save money Brian if you stick to 30 °

Shouldn't a man of your standing have someone in to handle the housework?

Maybe put an homeless person into gainful employment

I'm sure one of the beggars you offend so regularly offend could do with earning a bob or two..

Hello Brian, over the years I've learned loads and one tip for us being on the road.  Buy a bucket and a toilet plunger and cut holes in it.  It then acts as an old fashioned posset, gets all our clothes clean at virtually no cost x

A female beggar wanted me give her some money for a hot drink this afternoon. I gave my usual answer which is get a job. My daughters each have a job. Even Andy and Peter have a job each.
I met my daughter a bit later and bought her a hot drink.
