Having shaken the worst of the dust of them, they are still far too
dusty to be used to protect anything from dust. Is there anything useful that can be done with them? Would putting them in the washing mashing hasten the demise of the latter? They're cotton, by the way. Daniele -- Wanted: TEAC A-2300SX, Akai GX-4000D |

Would putting them in the washing mashing hasten the demise of the latter? They're cotton, by the way. SWMBO has put mine in the 'washing mashing' (I like that) before now. I always cut a 12 x 9 down into 2 - 6 x 9 though. I don't do jobs big enough to require large dust sheets. Half a sheet washes OK, a full one might be a bit of an overload. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

Daniele Good point, if they are that bad. Shake off outside and a quick hose down or rinse in a bucket or bath to shift the worst. Cheers Tim |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Laurence Payne saying something like: If the dust would come off when they're draped over something, why won't it come off when they're shaken, or hung on a washing line and given a good beating? Or just laid out on the driveway and hoovered? Need weighted down, possibly, but with an older beater hoover without the ferocious suction of modern ones it should work. |

Be less work to tie them to the roof-rack and go for a short bimble down the motorway. Superb! On a rainy day, the windscreen washers could be filled with neat Fairy Liquid and left to do its work. |
