Things i learnt today, from listening to ABC AM radio.
If, having sent one's angora cardigan to the dry cleaners to be cleaned, you collect it and find it all flat and non-fluffy, the key to reviving it is:
1) Wash the cardigan in hair shampoo and conditioner.
2) Dry it on a white towel
3) Fold it up neatly, flat, and place in a plastic bag.
4) Place in the freezer for a few hours at least.
5) Take out and wear!
Apparently, freezing your fluffy items prevents the fluff from coming off on your furniture and other clothes and thingybobs.
Also, bicarbonate of soda and vinegar will remove most stains, but don't leave it on for hours on carpet, because it might bleach it. Apparently, just sprinkle the bicarb on, then sprinkle the vinegar, let it fizz, then wipe off and vaccuum up the dried bits. Hurrah!
Lastly, if you have bicycle grease stains on your pants, they can be removed with baby oil, which is a mineral oil, to help break up the grease.
All useful stuff, no?
heheheh

Baby oil is a mineral oil?
Babies come from rocks?
Petroleum products are good for babies?
It isn't made of babies?
One or other of these statements must be true. Or false.
intersting, not something I'll use anytime, but interesting still
I don't know what she meant by mineral oil, but the woman on the radio seemed to know Everything.
Well everything to do with cleaning and restoring stuff anyway...
