Can I Wash My King-Size Comforter in My Washing Machine?

A king-size comforter is definitely big. It can occupy most of the space in your washing machine. Most of those who are using a top load washing machine might have to hand wash their comforters in king size. The tub space inside a top loader is just not enough.

Silk Bedding Set

However, if you have a top load machine with tub capacity bigger than a front loader, then you can use it. But generally, a fair-sized front loader does the trick. So, to get this work out of the way, here are some of the steps in washing:

Silk Bedding Set

Step 1: Remove comforter from your bed. You can wash this separately or include this with your pillowcases if there is still more room. Remember that if you want your washer to clean this efficiently, you should give it a lot of room to tumble.

Step 2: Normally, all fabrics have washing instructions sewn on one side of it. Check your brand of comforter if it comes with that instruction. You should see instructions like hand-washed or no bleach or sun dry. If you can be washed using a washing machine, then you can use your washer. Otherwise, you might only be allowed to use dry cleaning. In this case, you have to take your comforter to the dry cleaner.

Step 3: Slightly fluff the comforter up and then dump it in your washer. Make sure you have placed it evenly. Now program the machine to the right settings. Use warm washing settings to remove any dirt and stains in it. If there is machine washing recommendation in the tag attached to the comforter, follow it.

Step 4: Allow the machine to finish washing your comforter. After it is completely finished, you can now hang it outside to dry. You can also use your dryer but if it is an electric dryer, it might take forever to dry completely. You can also dry it for a few minutes in the washer's dryer and take it out while it is still slightly damp and let the warmth of the sun finish the job for you.

All these steps are only applicable if your comforter is washer-safe. If you have a steam washer, you can use that to wash but if not, just go to your nearest dry cleaner and have it cleaned. Another option is to clean it manually. However, that would be too much work for a large comforter.

Crepe Paper Pumpkin People Decorations

Making crepe paper pumpkin people decorations is a lot of fun. This craft project is great for adults and children it allows you to really use your imagination. If you enjoy making the pumpkin people, you can make an entire family!

Silk Bedding Set

To make crepe paper pumpkin people you will need the following supplies. Crepe paper in an assortment of colors but be sure you include orange, green and black.

Silk Bedding Set

You will also need shears, clear drying glue, an assortment of buttons, small to large size Styrofoam balls (for the pumpkins body - you may want to get an assortment of sizes in case you want to make a pumpkin family), wiggly eyes or regular eyes, and mouths. You can of course, make the eyes, the buttons are for the nose and if you would like we recommended thread for the mouth so you will also need a needle and an assortment of thread you can pick up a small sewing kit at any dollar store. You may also want to get some felt if you want you can make the pumpkins facial features out of felt you can also make a hat and shoes for your pumpkin people with felt if you decide to give them a hat and shoes.

A few finial things you will need include ribbon that is thick but somewhat thin in width this will be your pumpkins legs and arms if you decide to give the paper pumpkin people arms and legs.

Once you have all of your supplies you are ready to get started. The first, thing you are going to want to do is cover your Styrofoam ball (the body and head) in crepe paper ideally orange works best however, other fall colors will work too. Use the clear drying glue to attach the paper. Before you start to decorate your pumpkin person, you will want to assemble it. Therefore, next you will want to attach the legs and arms. Cut the ribbon the length you desire and use the glue to glue on the legs and arms. For the legs place a tiny dot of glue on the bottom of the pumpkin and attach the two pieces of ribbon let it set until the glue is dry and the legs are secured. If you want to give the pumpkin person arms follow the same instructions (a tiny dot of glue on the side of the pumpkin and let it dry.

Next, you can start to give the pumpkin a face using either scrap pieces of crepe paper or the store bought items. To make a mouth using the thread - thread your needle with your choice of colored thread and gently sew a zigzag line where the mouth will be. You must be very careful when sewing on a mouth thread the needle through the crepe paper and if there is enough room (there should be) very gently feed the needle and thread out through the first part of the paper only and continue this until the mouth is complete. Using a needle and thread for the mouth is very difficult and only recommended for experienced sewers. If you are not comfortable with this, you can use a magic marker and draw on the mouth or glue on one you purchased.

By now, your pumpkin person should be completed. Now, because your pumpkins body is round you will need a "nest" to set it in so it does not roll away. You can make this with crepe paper lay out a few sheets of the paper place the pumpkin ball inside and shape the paper nest until it forms around the pumpkin make sure the legs are hanging out of the "nest" now, place your pumpkin person on a stand, table, fireplace mantel or wherever you would like it (them) to go.

Making these paper pumpkin people is a lot of fun and you can even make a pumpkin town with the help of small and medium size square boxes just cover them with crepe paper and use magic markers to draw on the door, windows or even a store sign or name. Just have fun with the crepe paper pumpkin people and you will be amazed at the final creation!

Kool Aid Stains In Carpet - Removing Them

It's not always possible to remove kool aid stains from carpet. All "red stains" are difficult to get out. Red coloring used in pop, candy, and other foods generally doesn't flush out with water. However, if you try the methods used by professional carpet cleaners, you may get that stain out.

Silk Bedding Set

First, use a shop-vac to suck some of the kool aid out, if you can get to the stain quickly. This can stop the spill from entering the carpet fibers. Getting out some or all of the remaining stain takes time.

Silk Bedding Set

Start with Dawn dishwashing detergent - the original blue type. Add five or six drops to two cups of warm water. Dampen a white cotton cloth with this solution and lay it over the stain. Then place a clothes iron on top of it, set on "low".

Let this sit for fifteen minutes, and don't press down. The red stain will start to wick up into the cloth. You should see red on the cloth. Fold it to use a clean part or apply a new cloth, and repeat the process.

It takes patience to get red stains out of carpet, but even year-old Kool Aid stains have been removed using this method. Repeat the process again and again until there is no more transfer of the red stain to the cloth. Rinse the spot with water, blot it up, and dry it quickly. Quick drying prevents any stain deeper down from wicking up to the surface.

To summarize: use clean white cotton cloth (several), low heat, and don't press or rub. Let the color wick up into the cloth at its own rate, then rinse and dry the area quickly. You can, at the very least, lighten Kool Aid stains and other red stains in carpet using this technique.

Micro-Suede - Information

Suede is a term used to describe leather with a napped finish. Suede leather is made from the under skin of animals like lambs, goats, pigs and deer. Since suede does not include the tough exterior animal skin layer, it has a lower durability but it is softer than standard leather. Due to its properties, Suede finds application in clothing and delicate uses. Suede leather is popular in shoes and upholstery, bags and other accessories. It is also used as a lining material for leather products. The disadvantage of suede is that due to its textured nature and presence of open pores on its surface, it becomes dirty very quickly and may be spoilt if it gets wet. Modern techniques have evolved to make Suede stain-proof and waterproof.

Silk Bedding Set

Is there any difference between leather and suede? Which is a better and more comfortable fabric? Which one has a better appearance? We will try to answer these questions here.
Suede and leather actually refer to the same basic material, but the name is applied according to the qualities.

Silk Bedding Set

Suede is much softer than leather in texture. Some people thus prefer it over leather. The overall appearance of suede is also more appealing than leather. Because of its s softness and gentleness, suede is less durable than full grain leather. Suede is easily affected by water and other liquid, inclement weather, and other mishaps. Leather, on the other hand, is easy to protect and to clean. When price is taken into consideration, it is found that suede is more expensive than leather. The price differences occur due to suede having a finer appearance and due to the additional time spent to create suede.

When it comes to suede and leather, therefore, it is essentially the same material that is being referred to. The differences in additional production are what account for the different physical characteristics.

Micro-suede is a new micro fiber knit blend fabric which is fast becoming popular. It is made from very fine micro-fibers which are about a hundred times finer than the average human hair. Micro-fibers used, are finer than even silk fibers. These micro-fibers are tightly woven to create a very high quality fabric. The density of the fibers in the fabric provides many desired characteristics that make this ideal for use in making comforter sets.

Micro-suede is also used by furniture manufacturers for their couches and sofas. Customers are ready to pay higher premium for increased comfort which micro-suede cushions and chairs provide. Moreover, when compared to normal suede, micro-suede is easier to clean, and is water resistant. This makes them very good for upholstery. Furniture manufacturers also claim that microsuede is stain resistant and indestructible. This claim has been heavily refuted by users.

Its soft finish and increased stretch makes micro-suede easily distinguishable from normal suede. Common uses of micro-suede are in accessories and shoes. Micro-suede has a lesser durability than suede. Micro-suede as a fabric is gaining popularity among manufacturers due to its properties like softness, stain and resistance and pliability.
