Washing faux pas!
I am like Monica in Friends, clean freak – I see some resemblance with Monk as I obsess about neatness. I have two issues on my mind right now at office; It’s killing me people!
1. Whenever I buy 7jabaty – sheyale men Nouran – the White ones especially & wash them at the laundry they come back kinda yellowish! I curse the poor man & as an alternative, I started washing them myself at home. THEY ALSO TURN YELLOW! SOB! WTH! Is Tide a bad option! I ain’t using bleach! So I went to buy yet another white sheela the other day and I tell the guy: “What’s up with the white sheelas turning yellow!” He goes like: “teghselehom ezzay” I go like warm water + Tide” – he advised me to use cold water! I don’t know, will try it & inform you.
2. 2nd faux pas of washing is – DO NOT ATTEMPT to wash your shoes unless they have a lablel saying so! I’m dumb!! I like the pink flats and because they got dirty last time I wore them, I decided to wash them for today’s outfit :( I put them on and half way through to work I decided to take a look at my feet & that is what I saw!
They got dirty again & you can see how the left pair is lighter than the other! They have different Pink tones – OMG! I have to walk around pretending that it’s actually a new fashion am setting at my company! Hope they buy it!
[ Update ]: I got this from a colleague via email- funny! This is the best washing instructions! lol

Thank god I don’t wash shoes, or 7jabat! I used to wash my cloths in the U.S. sometimes it was just nightmare! And yes, white use cold water!

I have a lot to say on this topic, but never had the time to write about it. It’s one of the reasons I avoid certain types of clothing.
