Hi Jim

 The cloth is a dust sheet that's been painted brown,it dried a bit stiff so I wet it and ran it through the tmble dryer.I SH*T myself when the inside of the drum  and the glass front turned brown on about the fifth rotation.
 Well damge done so I waited until it had dried out and removed the cloth ,I washed the inside of the machine out with a bowl full of soapy water and got all back to normal before the boss got home from work....phew....... The cloth then had the consistency of sacking so I was happy with that.

Cheers AL

 lol lol lol

Not just me who does stuff like that then.... ;)

Me too. The other day I got caught out: I hadn't realised that I had got little flecks of black spray paint on the windows. The boss thought it was fly poo at first before realising it was paint...

Thanks Al, think I'll give the dust sheet a go. Definitely not brave enough to risk the wrath of the boss though, so might try a cold dye instead! I've still not been forgiven for the black spray patches on the brand new patio slabs - I totally underestimated the diameter of overspray...

Cheers,
Jim.
