@PhillyBella Will you crawl in the washer to take a spin to cool you downπ ???????
@ReneeVoiceBrand good idea! Doing cold water wash today!
@PhillyBella @ReneeVoiceBrand We wash almost everything in cold water. It saves electricity.
@Oma_Trisha @ReneeVoiceBrand me too actually! Saves my clothes too!
@PhillyBella @Oma_Trisha I live by the mantra 'clothes aren't clean unless they're boiling in hot water.'π±
2/ The only time hot water is really beneficial is when you have something that's full of odor or stains, in which case warmer water helps the dirt/odor molecules move faster, which results in them being removed from the fibers of the fabric more rapidly. Unfortunately, heat can also set certain stains -- blood, for instance. It can also shrink certain items made from specific types of fiber.
@Oma_Trisha @ReneeVoiceBrand @PhillyBella
Blood stains can be removed using Peroxide before washing. Always check in an inconspicuous spot for colour fastness, as in a seam allowance.π

I learned that in nursing school. If only it were so easy to get coffee ground/undigested food vomit, overflow from an NG tube, or the yak from a tracheostomy suctioning out of our scrubs. π€’π€’
@Krysdammit @Oma_Trisha @ReneeVoiceBrand @PhillyBella
Always used hydrogen peroxide to get blood out of my scrubs.
@RuthEd @Krysdammit @ReneeVoiceBrand @PhillyBella
It comes in handy when you have a grandchild with a bloody nose, too.
@Oma_Trisha @RuthEd @ReneeVoiceBrand @PhillyBella
No grandkids here, but the cat has claws at the end of those cute toebeans.π
@Krysdammit @RuthEd @ReneeVoiceBrand @PhillyBella
Lenny is declawed in the front, but Smudge has some serious murder mittens going on. They can both do a number with their back claws as well. That's why I keep them trimmed.
We also have plants that bite. I think they're called fan palms..... If you brush buy one and aren't careful, it will cut you.
@Oma_Trisha @RuthEd @ReneeVoiceBrand @PhillyBella
I don't know of any native plants which cut where I live.
I've sick skin and have rubbed just a little and created wounds.Showed one in the webbing between two fingers to my baby sis when she visited me yesterday.
It made her very sad.

Murder mittens π
@RuthEd @Oma_Trisha @ReneeVoiceBrand @PhillyBella
I've never worn scrubs, but I do sew, kni,t & crochet.
Sometimes hishaps happen π and the peroxide is needed to keep my work pretty.π€·ββοΈ
@Krysdammit @RuthEd @Oma_Trisha @PhillyBella Isn't Peroxide harsh on yarn and clothing fabric?
@ReneeVoiceBrand @RuthEd @Oma_Trisha @PhillyBella
If the piece is ruined by a blood stain, depending on what it is, it's ruined & unusable anyway.π€·ββοΈ
