What Did You Buy Today?

Word of warning on the shop towels. These things are great, but, wash them by hand in a separate container! Mine ran. Like blood in a bucket. If you value your whitey-tighties, don't wash them with ANY of your clothes, or even in your washing machine because it will get red!
Ditto: I always wash shop towels separately (at a Laundromat if possible) because of the stuff that’s on them (if they’re really grungy they go in the trash). After many years of washings I have two colors of towels: dull red and pink (used to be white).
 
:grin:I had a lady that washed her husbands shop towels like those in gasoline to get most of the oil out(repair shop) then go to the laundromat to wash them. Sometime in the cycle she opened the lid, and the interrupter button must have sparked, boom. Her face was sunburned, no eyebrows, or lashes, and her bangs were gone. I thought it was kinda rude of her to be doing that for the next person who used the machine.

Also, if you see me leaving the laundromat, don't use any of the five machines I just used. Else your socks turn red and smell like ATF mixed with mineral spirits. It's truly horrifying.

So noted.

These towels really do bleed off their color - a lot. Even at a second and third washing. First wash the water was bright red, like using a dye.
