THE stuff

Dear everyone,

Got a question for the experienced wammers, or just for the ones who know the answer :wink:

Wich stuff is the best for wamming, BUT it has to get out of clothes easily spraying with water only, and I don't want it to still smell after a few days...

Sorry for my bad English, but you know what I mean so... :wink:

Your english is just about perfect :)

I've never used clothing and messy stuff together, but I would suggest shaving foam. Out of everything I've used so far, it was the easiest to break down.

Thank you Woof :!:

I forgot one question: What's the fastest way to dry clothes? The weather sucks, and I can't use any household-equipment... :cry:

Hi

You are narrowing it down a bit!

I reckon shaving foam is favourite as it will rinse straight off clothes. As or drying, radiators, airing cupboards or do they count as household equipment?

I know how to handle radiators, so that's already the way I do it :wink:

But again, thanks for the shavingfoam-hint!

Here's a thought.

Why not use clothes that you can chuck away after? Then you can do what you like to them?

Hi Vera,

If you want something 'heavier' with excellent coverage, you could use clean modelling clay, available from artists' supply shops. It doesn't smell and rinses straight out (with a little effort). It also feels fantastic!

We've a fair bit of experience with cleaning up gunged clothes here at the Hall, and to be honest we've been surprised at how well stuff washes clean, even after very heavy gungings.

The first rule is to always rinse thoroughly with cold water. We hose the ladies down in warm water, still wearing their outfits, in the dungeon, and then hose the clothes down in cold water once they've changed. This gets rid of most of the thick gunge like custard - and also gets rid of any solids, like beans or spaghetti.

Then just chuck them in the washing machine on a standard 40 degree wash. We usually do two washes, one with loads of soap powder, and a second with the normal amount of powder and also fabric conditioner.

Ignore any labels that say "dry clean only", as yet we've not found anything to be damaged by washing in water, I think those labels are mainly to stop people washing things at too high a temparature and shrinking them.
