Homeowner Forum / Cleaning / December 2005White 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 > I've been looking through this group for hints, but have found none :-( > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > 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. 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! > > I've been looking through this group for hints, but have found none :-( > > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > percarbonate) does wonders for whitening nylon panties and any bra that's a > bit iffy. "Whizz" has a completely different meaning in the States and soaking your underwear in "whizz" would only add to the stain. : > > I've been looking through this group for hints, but have found none :-( [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] : "Whizz" has a completely different meaning in the States and soaking your : underwear in "whizz" would only add to the stain. That's somewhere along the lines of racing stripes in your underwear do NOT make you go faster... >>>I've been looking through this group for hints, but have found none :-( >>> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > "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 the fatally flawed name "Tea-Whiz"? >>> I've been looking through this group for hints, but have found none :-( >>> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > "Whizz" has a completely different meaning in the States and soaking your > underwear in "whizz" would only add to the stain. 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. > > "Whizz" has a completely different meaning in the States and soaking your > > underwear in "whizz" would only add to the stain.

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. >>> "Whizz" has a completely different meaning in the States and soaking >>> your underwear in "whizz" would only add to the stain. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > 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. > >>> "Whizz" has a completely different meaning in the States and soaking > >>> your underwear in "whizz" would only add to the stain.

I recall answering one of your posts and I was trying to get away from you! I found out about the home 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. > here you are with the same tacky information that was posted to my inbox 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. > *except* I was mislead into believing I was viewing a sporting jpg. of a Until now I was misled into believing English was your native language. > certain upstanding member of the group who shall remain nameless but is I see why he shall remain nameless.

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

Is there such a group I wonder? >> 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, [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > would have fixed it. Next time I'll try a Romanian or a > corpulent Jamaican. 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 was trying to get away from you!

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. > Try leaving a small coin of little value tucked behind an in-opening door > that backs to a wall.

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. Who runs this group?

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 Stinking Bishop for Sunday lunch no one would get near enough to spy on you. or can't you stomach 'normal' food Mr Beane? > Who runs this group?

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? >> Now you have confused me.

Did you do [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > "Keep your wood furniture less dusty, longer!" > "It's NOT just for Wood Anymore" I wonder why you chose the third verse.

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. > >>> If you *weren't* an alien you would have recited the Pledge by now. > >>> Anyone with half a brain would agree with me on that.

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. > > > > > "Whizz" has a completely different meaning in the States and soaking > > your [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > root.)
