What to do with dusty dust sheets
D.M. Procida
dusty to be used to protect anything from dust.
Is there anything useful that can be done with them? Would putting them
in the washing mashing hasten the demise of the latter?
They're cotton, by the way.

SWMBO has put mine in the 'washing mashing' (I like that) before now. I
always cut a 12 x 9 down into 2 - 6 x 9 though. I don't do jobs big enough
to require large dust sheets. Half a sheet washes OK, a full one might be a
bit of an overload.

On a dry windy day peg 'em out on the line and whack 'em with a carpet
beater

I'd quite like a K1200LT and a 3-bedroom house with attached barn, if
we're writing letters to Santa.

Hang them on a clothes line and wash down with a garden hose.

They should stand washing - worst I would expect is some shrinkage.

It's not the dust sheets I'm worried might get ruined!
What might plaster/cement dust do to a washing machine?

Good point, if they are that bad.
Shake off outside and a quick hose down or rinse in a bucket or bath to
shift the worst.

Block the drain
Wreck the pump
Clog up the water level sensor
Hang around the bottom of the drum and give the Mrs a nice load of
stonewash bras in the next wash
Couldn't you get a twin-tub for 'garage washing' (and mulled wine at
xmas)?

If the dust would come off when they're draped over something, why
won't it come off when they're shaken, or hung on a washing line and
given a good beating?

Or just laid out on the driveway and hoovered? Need weighted down,
possibly, but with an older beater hoover without the ferocious suction
of modern ones it should work.

Be less work to tie them to the roof-rack and go for a short bimble
down the motorway.
