When my things arrived by truck, you may recall that several things were damaged. I finally got around to attempting to hand wash some of the grit out, and most of the clothing pieces were saved! This first shirt is still too stained to wear, but look at the improvement! Before:
Yikes! And after:
Yes, that's the same shirt (plus Billy). Impressed? I'm bummed I couldn't save it, but I sure gave it a good effort. There were 21 articles of clothing that were soiled, and I wasn't sure if it was greasy dirt, and how washable it all was. The dirt looked really ground in. But after what felt like hours of scrubbing and soaking, 16 of the 21 pieces are now clean and wearable again.
Pink skirt: saved! That huge black smudge is gone.
This sweater is another of the casualties. I got a lot of the dirt out, but it's still pretty stained, and it's torn in several places. It's clean now, though, so I suppose if I need to do any yard work or painting this fall when it's cooler, I have something perfect to wear!
