Not allowed to wash ropes in new washing machine - response help

[gregcope]

Hi All,

Our 10yr old washing machine is very, very loud. It also leaks. New one on order from John Lewis. When we got the old one we commented on how quite it was. However in the intervening years it has got very loud.

So.... I was told today;

"When we get the new washing machine we should not wash ropes in it ..."

What should my response be? Apparently I might have to do ropes in the marina washroom washing machines?

Put them in a tub with a mixture of patio magic. Then empty the tub on the patio.
Hang them up to dry. Result clean "ropes" and clean patio

 

[Hadenough]

What make? Washing machine that is.

 

[pvb]

Ropes are no worse than washing clothes.

 

[Poignard]

Don't stand for that sort of nonsense. Tell her that if she won't wash them in the machine she must do them by hand in the sink.

 

[Hadenough]

Ropes are no worse than washing clothes.

Agreed.

Marina washing machine?

But be prepared to moan about how much hard work you had to put in doing them by hand.....

Marina washing machine and have a beer while you're waiting!

When "we" bought a new washing machine, or any other appliance for that matter. I always paid for it !

If any of them went wrong I paid for the repairs

therefore when it came to washing ropes it was my call.

The only things that ever broke any of the machine was a escaped sock, and an escaped nappy liner

I don't seem to have many clothes with wichard buckles. But then I don't have a patio either...

Fantastic set of replies in such a short space of time.

Brilliant.

The new Samsung machines play a little tune when the wash is finished!

You can switch the annoying little tne off!

Also, does it have 'bubble wash' - fantastic for ropes, but do not tell the wife!

I've already spend half of today disentangling a mess of sheets and lazyjacks that someone put in our washing machine this morning. So far as I know, the machine is still in working order.

 

[pvb]

But aren't they so easy to untangle when they're fresh out of the machine?

+1, unless she paid for the new machine. Then just wait until she's gone out as said earlier.
