subject: The Best Way To Wash Wool Clothing [print this page] Sunday mornings are the most difficult time of the week for a busy household that contains three kids and their menagerie. Two large canines, a fur ball coughing cat, and Spots the pet Lorikeet are difficult to wrangle so that they don't muss up the carefully prepared triumvirate of children who must go before God, and, more importantly, the eyes of prying neighbors when the family enters the holy environs of First Baptist. The middle one is a five year old girl who thinks that kitty must always shed in her lap, and the two boys are always looking for a mud hole to christen their brand new Sunday best. The pungent slobber of a friendly dog is not the best way to wash wool clothing. After the herd, the children not the animals, is strapped into the car and the delicate fabric wash advertisement for the actual best way to wash wool clothing is carefully clipped from the newspaper, everybody heads to worship in the family sedan.
At home again after an inspired message, the oldest one spills pot roast drippings in his lap. The kid is rolled out of his pants quickly, and given a lecture about always forgetting to change directly after church. The best way to wash wool clothing is not to douse said cloth with brown gravy from an overdone piece of meat either. The delicate fabric wash company may have the solution, as they say, but since that particular answer to this present crisis is on the way, and not in attendance, the wife must do her best with generic laundry detergent. Tempers always seem to wear thin on Sunday just when they should be the calmest.
The delicate fabric wash company seems to care about the situation to the extent that our worries will be concluded when the new fabric cleaner arrives. This pair of pants may be ruined because stale, cheap detergent is also not the best way to wash wool clothing. It is a shame that you find all the best ways NOT to do something before you find the best way to do it; trial and error can be hard on a small household budget. Why didn't the delicate fabric wash solution reach us before another pair of Sunday trousers had to be purchased? I guess someone has to be the fall guy, but why am I (the poor, to be pitied husband) to blame for the whole mess all of a sudden?
