| A: | Ok, let's go through this one more time. I don't want anymore ruined or dyed blouses! |
| |
| B: | I know, I know. OK, so I have to separate the colors from the whites and put them in this strange looking contraption so called washing machine. |
| |
| A: | Right. You have to turn it on and program it depending on what type of clothes you are washing. For example for delicates, you should set a shorter washing cycle. Also, be sure to use fabric softener and this detergent when washing. |
| |
| B: | So complicated! Ok, what about this red wine stain? How do I get it out? |
| |
| A: | Since this is a white t-shirt, you can just pour a little bit of bleach on it and it will do the trick. |
| |
| B: | Cool. Then I can just throw everything in the dryer for an hour and its all set right? |
| |
| A: | No! Since you are washing delicates and cotton, you should set the dryer to medium heat and for twenty minutes. |
| |
| B: | You know what? I'll just have everything dry cleaned. |
