Laundry blues
Our .domicile, of late, has been a hectic
place, with the regular domestic engineer
not having quite enough hours to ac-
complish all those mundane chores that
seem to be :part of everyone's life.
It was either let the laundry'pile up to the
ceiling or con Mr. Fixit into taking lessons
on how to run the washing `machine.
It simply amazes me how a man can
take apart and put back together a motor
or some other piece of machinery, but a
running a simple washing machine is just
too complicated! On the other hand, I had
better admit that I could not take any piece
of machinery apart, let alone get it back
together; so 1 guess we're even in our.
household.
The first lesson was - how to seperate
your clothes, whites in one pile, towels in
another, jeans in one, coloured clothes -in
one and work clothes in. another. The logic
of this seperating was quite evident - 1
mean what woman wants their personal
items smelling like the barn orgrease.
Lesson number -two -never move the dial
off the water temperature setting. The
question "why" was answered with "1
prefer to wash all clothing on warm -water;
it saves on electricity, keeps colours
brighter and prevents shrinkage."
Number three - adjust the size of load
dial .according to the amount of clothing
being washed. The answer to "how do 1
owe ze f e load?'-'--was_answered
with "use your own judgement. If you can
estimate how many bushels of corn are in
a truck, surely it can't be too difficult to
estimate the pounds of clothing in a load."
Number four was - load the clothing
evenly in the machine. If loaded unevenly
the machine tends to rock around and 1
believe it is difficult on the workingparts."
Number five - turn the dial on the right

hand side of the machine around to 1f
minutes, pull the knob out and the water
will start to run in the machine.
Number six - add the soap, and as we
have a water softener, be sure you don't
put in too much. If you do, count on wear-
ing itchy clothes or mopping up the floor."
Number seven - when the final rinse
starts, add the water softener. A roll of my
baby blues was his answer to "can't 1 just
throw it in with the soap?"
Number eight - never put in Javex, will
tend to that. 1 had visions of Number One
Son's designer jeans coming out with huge
white spots, if the bleach got in the wrong
load.
Number nine - once the machine has
stopped, put the clothes in the dryer, turn
the dial to normal and when the buzzer
goes off, remove the clothes and fold them.
Number One Son like his jeans folded
seam to seam, ours you fold with the
crease. Sweaters should be folded neatly,
shirts hung on hangers and fold the towels
into four."
No question on this lesson.
Despite all the lessons thrown at him,
Mr. Fixit's first attempt at doing the laun-
dry went amazingly well, and the more
often he assisted with this chore, the more
adept he became, until last week when he
_..had momentary apse-Apparrntly ;I6 n
he went to check on a load, he couldn't find
the soap suds. After playing detective he
realized the detergent was still in the
measuring cup! 1 refuse to reveal all his
secrets, so you figure out what he did next.
Besides, he really didn't have to tell me
and I shouldn't be too hard on him or he'll
never provide me with another topic for
this column - then what would 1 do.
