White nylon lace panties getting greyer! Hints please
|
|
|
| I've been looking through this group for hints, but have found none :-(
I have several pairs of lace panties made from nylon, and they are gradually
going a very pale grey. I only wash them with other while things, on a 40º
wash, using biological washing powder.
This powder keeps my cottons white, but not the nylon!
I can't boil wash the nylon the max is 40º. Short of trying nylon curtain
whitener 8-/ has anyone got any hints or tips.
Thanks
Nell

Hello "Nell". A good soak in a product called Whizz, (it is basically sodium
percarbonate) does wonders for whitening nylon panties and any bra that's a
bit iffy. You can purchase it at your local 'What' shop or any of the £1
shops sell a similar product and you get a fairly big tub for £1. It is the
same oxygen bleach as Oxyclean but much cheaper.
What brand of washing powder are you using? Despite all one reads about all
brands being much the same I still have my favourites and think them far
superior to others.
Have we met before dear? perhaps in some other group? I seem to recognise
the giggle!

"Whizz" has a completely different meaning in the States and soaking your
underwear in "whizz" would only add to the stain.

Do we need to remember the short-lived beverage mix here in the US, with

Oh my goodness me! A certain person has seen to enlighten me with an online
picture depicting whizz as my American friends know it. Thank goodness the
OP is a poster from the UK and can see the product over here in the shops
and thereby verify that it is a genuine cleaning product.

I'm sorry to say Vox and your informant are members of a very
vulgar minority. To most Americans, a whizz is a person of
remarkable skill. (I know, it takes one to know one!) If,
for example, you were to google "soccer whizz", you would
doubtless be led to thousands of pages about Edson Arantes
"Pelé" Nascimento.

I hope you haven't followed me here from the repair group in which I was
kindly assisting for a few days. I recall answering one of your posts and
here you are with the same tacky information that was posted to my inbox
*except* I was mislead into believing I was viewing a sporting jpg. of a
certain upstanding member of the group who shall remain nameless but is
conspicuous in his absence. I really don't think it's the sort of thing that
should be welcome in this group, we are, after all, a successful cleaning
group not an outlet for the seedier side of the net.
If Mr Beane, you intend staying here in AHC then you would do well to try to
fit in and provide some cleaning tips along with any general, cleaning -
related chit -chat.

repair group from google, and I posted an important question.
You answered. Then I got an email that told me everyone was
laughing at me for not knowing you're a troll. I went back to
google to find a group where the contributors aren't trolls.
Google said Nan is not a troll, so I came here. Please go
back to the repair group where you belong.

I think you're wrong but can't prove it because I don't know
what Pelé means in Spanish. I doubt fans would have given a
whizz like him a tacky nickname. THAT WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE.

Until now I was misled into believing English was your native language.

I see why he shall remain nameless. If they gave him a name
you'd call it tacky.

alt.fr.plantes.parcs.et.jardins? Tried it. Didn't like it.

Why didn't you say so? I had an English cleaning woman the
other day. I was afraid she'd damage my good vacuum, so I had
her use my old one. I had to open the windows after she left
because the house smelled dusty. The next day she whined that
she'd spent half the night coughing. So I checked the vacuum
and found that the paper bag didn't seal because I'd bent the
cardboard tab when I installed it. A competent cleaning woman
would have fixed it. Next time I'll try a Romanian or a
corpulent Jamaican.

Actually, the dictionary makes no mention of a "person of remarkable skill."
It is either a sound or urine. In the original context, the possibilities
are narrowed to the latter.

According to your dictionary, Meaning 3 is "One who has
remarkable skill: a whiz at all sorts of games." In this
context, "one" means "a person" (such as Pelé the soccer whizz).
While you're in that dictionary, you will see it does not
define "whizz" as anything in which a garment could be soaked.
It does mention an idiomatic verb phrase. (I've often
wondered whether "idiomatic" and "idiot" come from the same
root.) Readers of your dictionary will be relieved to note
that this idiom is used only by the vulgar sort.

It seems you are attracted to the vulgar as you have put so much energy into
this.

With a little practice I think you would find that telling the
truth takes no more energy than misinforming the ignorant.

As I suspected -quite mad, as your name would indicate. I wonder what you're
dining on for Sunday Lunch today. No, please don't bother telling me.

Obviously a troll. If you employ English women for cleaning they will IME
invariably ask for a Dyson.
I hope you provided the poor soul with tea and biscuits before her duties
started.
Try leaving a small coin of little value tucked behind an in-opening door
that backs to a wall. ( I have three)It is surprising how many cleaners do
NOT bother cleaning behind that door and can be caught in their laziness by
the said coin, others will pocket the coin without a word. A trustworthy
hard worker will both clean and leave the coin on the mantle. Of course, if
they read this group they may well know they are being tested and merely
pick the coin up and place it on the mantle without cleaning but as IME the
majority of cleaners can't read English it is a small chance.

I trust "ignorant" is not a reference to me!
Now, shall we move on, as of late this group is nothing but bickering,

What will a troll ask for? How do you *know* she was a troll?

I had myself a snack, but I could see she was probably
concerned about her weight, so I didn't tempt her by inviting
her to sit down.

Who runs this group? Can't they prohibit cleaners from
subscribing? I for one don't like being spied upon, whether
it's my Sunday lunch or what I post here.

Of course not! I was referring to all the *other* ignorant

Now you have confused me. Do you mean you and the other Nan
got Nan confused, or did you confuse both of them? Did you do
it intentionally? Do you think it was unfair of Vox to
confuse an alien like Mrs. Bonk about English usage?

I believe Marcia Pease 'thought' she was moderator of this group but she
has, I've been told, lost her posting rights.
pop over to AC-C and read my post then you'll see that if you had a little

I chose randomly. I thought the third verse was something about sealing the
pouch after use to keep moisture in. That may have been on the multi surface
page. Where does it say about God? I haven't managed to find that bit.

Congratulations, Alien! The Department of Homeland Security has
tricked you into visiting their fake Pledge page. You didn't think
they'd tell you the real words, did you? Now you have cookies. The
FBI will be able to track you.

Superbowl Sunday. A bishop took advantage of my party to walk in,
stink up my bathroom, and run away. I see you have no alibi. Coincidence?
