I heard about this method last Spring. It took me all summer to find a salad spinner at a garage sale ($1.00). When I told the lady what I was going to use it for she looked at me like I was crazy. :p

Time, water and electric saver. Good idea. Oh and you get a workout too.

A large empty cherry jar from a restaruant suppy works as well. You supply the aggitation. LOL.

They dried quickly after being in salad spinner, very little or no fraying. Just be sure to put them into salad spinner NOT salad shooter :)

I will have to try this since I just bought fabric the MUST BE WASHED. My husband does all the cooking ( I hear envious sighs ) so I don't go into the kitchen much. And the difference between a salad shooter and a salad shooter is ... Hhahahahahaha
