Cleaning fabrics
#12
OK, we get lots of mice in our basement in the fall and winter. Little critters are looking for a nice, warm place out of the weather. Of course, then my kitty has fun chasing them down and around and bringing them to mom when she's asleep in the middle of the night :? :? I just can't bring myself to kill anything so when I catch them (and I do -- using old towels which immediately go into the wash with hot water and Tide), I put them outside as far away as I can get them before they manage to escape captivity. They probably beat me back into the house :oops: :oops:
I think those little varmits can get into a crack the size of a needle!

Henry,
Mice are a menace of the woods, they will find their way in around the water pipes or the screens that are loose. BUT if your professional told you there are no ways for them to get in then you have to check around all the water pipes. They have to have an opening to get in to get to the dog food....but get the dog and the friend out! She's not a friend or she would not have allowed this to happen.
Check with you dry cleaner for disenfectant and use colorsafe liquid bleach. White vinegar might work but you would have to immediately wash it again to get the acid from the vinegar out.
Make her pay for your lost fabrics and batting. This was carelessness on her part that has cost you more than she's worth. Raise her rent to pay for the cleaning and get her to pay for a cleaning woman for the whole house.
How much fabric did you lose and what colors would you like????
Hugs,
Sharon

I am still taking "inventory" on what I lost. I'm going to see what all I have after I wash everything. Remember I was...well am...a fabric hoarder.
