A little good clean fun
'Round' trips lead to laundry lore
When I was just a kid, my big
sister used to stick me in the dryer
- we didn’t have a microwave then
-- to shut me up.
She dumped me into the cylin
der, shut the door, turned the dial
to permanent press and pushed
‘‘start.’’
She even cleaned the lint filter.
Forty-five minutes later I emerged,
a little bit red-faced, but none the
worse for wear.
As a result, I know more about
laundry than the Maytag repairman
does. And I even have a life.

when you stick coins

splashes and gurgles

"I’ll Tumble for You” was my
favorite song. And I know, for in
stance, that:
• The average T-shirt takes 52,000
tumbles in a dryer before turning
into a window-cleaning rag
• Socks can be heated up, cooled
down and hung out to dry for five
years before blowing away in the
wind.
• Turtleneck shirts of deep for
est green lose their luster after 4,000
wringings in all-color bleach.
• Powdered detergent forms
more suds than liquid, but it de
posits crust all over your jeans.
• A good washer can be double
loaded 14,000 times before it’s his
tory - that’s 28,000 spin cycles and
1.7 million spins.
Laundry facts and figures are not
very exciting. If you’re the Maytag
repairman, you might have time to
learn them
Otherwise, forget it. Break some
rules. Mix your whites and colors;
put the powder detergent in after
your clothes.
Just make sure you do it at a
Laundromat - they’re used to the
abuse. At least half the machines at
the average Laundromat are out of
order -- the management’s way of
saying the machines will eat your
clothes. *
That’s not unusual. Anything can
happen when you stick coins into
a machine that gurgles and splashes
like month-old sauerkraut.
Laundromats are like bars —
they cause you to lose your inhibi
tions. The major difference, of
course, is that yesterday’s embar
rassing stains, not alcohol, evapo
rate your privacy.
Things usually hidden in the
home come out at Laundromats:
leopard-skin underwear, g-strings,
negligees and polyester.
The freshman year in college is
for bringing home your laundry on
the weekend for your parents to
do. That can be embarrassing when
an article of your girlfriend’s/boy
friend’s clothing ends up in the
basket.
But the real trouble starts when
you r girlfriend/boyfriend sees your
mother’s underwear make its way
into your laundry on the return
trip.
Freshmen have to bring their
laundry home because they are
poor. Budget choices usually in
volve choosing between beer or
clean clothes for the weekend. A
quick trip to Mom’s and Dad’s and
you can have both.
But if you don’t feel like going
home, just turn those sweat shirts
and jeans, or even your under
wear, inside out.
