Warm water, Woolite, and take off your shoes and walk on the blankets. Like Lucy and Ethel smashing grapes into wine, take your time. Let it soak and do it again. Drain, walk on it again to ring it a bit, fill with fresh water and walk on it again. Do this a few cycles to rinse. Drain, smash as much water out as you can and hang outside to dry. The blanket will smell great when dry!   marian Citizen Username: Marian Post Number: 795 Registered: 9-2001 Posted on Sunday, April 23, 2006 - 5:08 pm:        Thanks, George. Interesting idea Jgberkeley. I do have red hair, but not sure I want to imitate Lucy THAT much !   Wendy Supporter Username: Wendy Post Number: 2386 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Sunday, April 23, 2006 - 6:50 pm:        There's also a laundromat on Main Street in Millburn right past the park as you're heading from Millburn Avenue to the Millburn Shoprite. You can wash them yourself in over-sized machines or have them do it.   marian Citizen Username: Marian Post Number: 797 Registered: 9-2001 Posted on Sunday, April 23, 2006 - 10:11 pm:        Thanks, Wendy!
