My next-door neighbour (NN) has recently acquired some home help. The helper comes weekly to do cleaning chores that NN can no longer do for herself. I thought that was a good idea, and suggested that if the helper did the laundry, it would save NN the problem of negotiating a flight of steep stairs down to the basement laundry room. She vehemently protested.
"No one else can do my laundry. My clothes have to be washed in a certain way. I always read the labels."
Yeah, well, so do I, to a certain extent. If a garment has a label that says "Dry Clean Only" I don't buy it. I wondered what was so special about washing the baggy sweatsuits that are all she ever wears.
Read these labels carefully. Rinse. Repeat.
