Rich Seymour’s stochastic statements.

In a move that will clearly bring jeers from certain members of the viewing audience, I am going to detail a fast way to clean the hell out of clothing. This works best for shirts.

1. Get some dirty shirts, some Woolite (or something tougher but you’d probably want rubber gloves then), and some bleach if necessary. Pretreating with Zout can do some wonders too.
2. Fill up your (clean) sink with some cold water and a capful or two of Woolite (as per instructions)
3. Wash. Optional fill with hot water and bleach.
4. Rinse like crazy
5. Hang them up in your bathtub (maybe tie something from the showerhead to the curtain rod) and point a fan at them. Go to sleep.

This is the sort of thing that someone would only do if they didn’t really have access to a washing machine. For some reason my current place shuts off the machine at ten at night. That’s obviously just wrong, hopefully my new place will be more permissive on that. The use of the fan is key to the whole technique. The book on this ‘Home Comforts : The Art and Science of Keeping House was consulted as well.
