TRIVIAL LITTLE TRICK

So every once in a while (more times than necessary) I get stumped with a little dilemma and have to figure out a solution. Ya know, one of those things us wives are just supposed to have an answer for. My husband's daily farming uniform includes wearing a baseball type hat. Now these things get filthy, I mean, greasy, stinky, yuck! And if you machine wash them, they lose their shape. Heaven forbid they not have the proper shape to them. So in order to please us both, clean and proper shape. Introducing the "Create a Shape" plastic bag. Yes, these wonderful treasures that we receive anything in from designer jeans to toilet paper can serve the purpose of creating a shape. Just one more reason to keep them out of the land fill. First, I throw his hats in with those disgusting jeans. No special soap, no nothing. Then I stuff the hat with these bags as tight as possible, taking care to shape it before I hang them up to dry. They will dry overnight. Disclaimer: If you are afraid of the colors bleeding, you are taking that risk. I am not responsible!!! I have never had one bleed color, but that's not to say that it couldn't happen. Frankly, I would rather have clean! Just one more little trivial trick in our house....
