I wash my cashmere sweaters in the washing machine with regular detergent on the regular cycle. Then I flat dry them. They seem none the worse for wear.
When you lay the sweater between two towels, then you roll it all up tightly and press to release water.
Gentle washing is my way for cashmere.
I also wash in the washing machine on a very gentle cycle with low to medium spinning and lay it flat to dry.
I only use Woolite.
I’m allergic to Woolite—hives!
I go with gentle washing. I’d hand wash if you have a machine that agitates. I have a front-loader so I can use that.
I do the towel rolling thing after reshaping, and then reshape again.
The only time I ever sent a sweater (not cashmere) to the dry cleaner, they destroyed it. I strongly prefer the freshness you get with actual washing.
I changed my talk confidential password on my laptop and my 6s iPhone talk confidential won’t sign on with the old or new password. Ipad works, I turned off the phone and restarted it and that did not help.
Sorry, maybe ^ this^ is not an appropriate question for this thread, but I hated to start a new thread.
One of my rooms used to be a breezeway and it was enclosed to create a room. Consequently it has a cement floor that is covered by in-floor radiant heat and, then, linoleum. (I hate the current linoleum, but that’s a story for another day. One day we’ll replace the linoleum with tile or something else.) In the meantime, I have a very inexpensive area rug in the middle of the room. I need to replace the area rug but, before I do, it occurred to me that the in-floor radiant heat might not be good for any rug. If that’s the case, I’ll buy another cheap-o.
Does anyone know??
I’ll take that as a no.
Anyone have a good tip for keeping a bag of brown sugar from hardening? I had to open a 2 lb bag last night for TWO TABLESPOONS of brown sugar. Trying to avoid it turning into a brick.
Not necessarily looking for hints on how to soften it after it’s hardened, more interested in how you all store it so it doesnt. Right now I’ve got the bag closed with a bag clip and then inside a big ziploc with most of the air pushed out…
I store it in a ziploc with the air squished out and it works for me.
I store it in a Rubbermaid container and it seems to keep pretty well.
You can store the brown sugar in the freezer and it will retain it’s moisture. It won’t take too long to thaw enough to get out what you need. I have always used a Sugar Bear in a tight sealing container or you can use a slice of bread in a pinch. The bear is made of terra cotta and you soak it in water before putting in the container. It needs rehydrating after about 3 months. Just last week I bought a new container for my brown sugar and it has a special slot to hold the terra cotta disk.
A piece small piece of bread or a small piece of apple in the bag. Close the bag tightly.
It will keeps indefinitely. Learned this as a child.
I have never had a bag get hard using the bread or apple method.
Why they do not mold is the mystery, but they don’t.
I roll down the top of the opened bag and store it in an OXO Good Grips airtight container. It stays soft. I store my white sugar, flour, rice, etc. in those containers, too, but without their packaging.
question: I am NOT in the business world and need to get a form to someone.
Would taking a picture of it and emailing it be acceptable? No fax machine easily accessible . . . - scanner is wonky on my printer too! just wondered if that was an acceptable way to get over some info.
Depends what it’s for, but in general that should work.
That has worked for me. I have photo’ed and emailed (or texted) the photo. But never with personal info or credit card info.
Should work unless you need a really nice copy. Taking a picture might get shadows or get background or be skewed. But for most purposes you should be able to send a decent copy.
You could scan it and email it. If you don’t have a scanner, you could go to a FedEx office and do it.
