PurpleHen Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Have had a slight accident with some fruit salad.... So if yes and it was successful, please let me know the settings - and likewise it it wasn't so successful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Spooky Mine is in the washing machine now. Its the first time I have washed it. My bag was disgusting, blackberry juice from October foraging mixed with a little mud where I put it on the ground, tea stains from when I put it on the table at work and lots of other little marks. I've bunged it in with a load of coloured items on a 40oc setting. I'll let you know the outcome in about and hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I'm sure it'll be fine in the washing machine - they're 100% cotton, so should wash fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I will be heartbroken if the Omlet logo fades or worse washes off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I haven't washed mine yet as am still using it 'carefully'. Does anyone else make sure the logo is facing out when they use their bag, so everyone can see it, or is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Does anyone else make sure the logo is facing out when they use their bag, so everyone can see it, or is it just me? I do that as well The bag is now drying. It will need ironing The Omlet logo is still there.....phew It looks OK, however I have got it into my head that it is smaller If anyone with an Omlet bag who has the urge to measure it I could check the measurements with my nice clean one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Ali, my very grubby, never been washed bag measures 15x16 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 It has shrunk slightly. It measures 15x14 inches I washed it at 40oc. So maybe a cooler wash, look after it better or buy a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 It might not have shrunk ali, the fibres might just have swollen with the water as I have a bolero which does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 It has shrunk slightly. It measures 15x14 inches I washed it at 40oc. So maybe a cooler wash, look after it better or buy a new one Oh dear At least it didn't fade or the logo run - which is what I was really worried about... Will give it a go ona low temp then - thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Sounds better than my Omlet knickers then - they are fine in themselves and fit well, but the logo has almost totally faded off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura007 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 washed it but it came out really really really creased!!!!!!! i cant see myself ironing it so using it at the moment for really heavy items, hoping it will stretch them out.

ubereglu Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Is the shopping bags made out of Calico??? I was just wondering as they're in that sort of colour and the way you've said they crease badly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Forgot to update you all...... It did shrink a bit, but most importantly - the Omlet bit is till there And it looks MUCH better for a wash... I'll do the others now as well I think...

Sheilaz Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 This is a great topic to have started, i'll wash mine carefully when the time comes. I thanked LSH today for my set of 3 as I've used them non stop since he gave them to me for Christmas, and am very pleased. Well, I did actually buy them myself & gave them to him to give to me.

Christian Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Well, I did actually buy them myself & gave them to him to give to me. i left the details of things i wanted for Christmas on the laptop screen! I got 3 bags for Christmas too (from OH's mum) - funny that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Same here I sent him an email full of links after The Boy complained that he didn't know what I wanted. I got some surprises too though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
