If it can't get washed it doesn't cut it in our place
. Love your humour "patchy" .... but I am a washer and wiper of everything than can stand it. I have been doing some work in a public library lately.....and I didn't realise how much muck is on book covers...my hands are really grimy after a couple of hours. I also buy heaps of fabric from charity shops and vintage from online sellers. Amazing what comes out of some of it.
