Beware a Yellow Duster

imprinted with Cheeses of the British Isles.

I've had an unused yellow duster for nigh on 30 years because a)I had no need to use it b)it was pretty c)it was a gift from son or daughter who went to Cheddar Gorge on a brownie, girl guide, scout or Boys Brigade holiday d) I led a frugal life! All things come into their own time. As my cleaning cloths are few, and as it was so soft, I decided to use it to polish bathroom tiles, after which it found itself in the washing machine waiting for a load!
Fortunately, the black and white, single duvet cover, which once between 20 and 30 years ago serviced as my son's bedlinen was unaffected.  Phew! BUT two pillowcases, one an under pillowcase and the other a John Lewis embroidered pillowcase, of which I have 4 (now 3) are now a lemony shade. The latter was already falling to pieces but I was just gaining  another winter's use from it before it reaches the recycling bag!

  1. Bad luck!

    Or perhaps it was good luck, because the outcome could have been so very much worse...

It would be lovely to hear what you think.
