Bath Day!
Poor White-Harp. It’s been so long since I’ve given her a bath that she’s now kind of a Dingy Grey Harp. I did promise to give her a bath for her birthday (which was Wednesday), but I was a bad JJ and went gallivanting off to Lou Reed Girlfriend‘s apartment instead. Sorry!
White-Harp is displeased with me. Mea culpa, mea culpa!
Anyway, I made good on my promise today and now we have a clean Harp! And pictures to prove it! Yes, the people at the laundromat did give me strange looks for taking photos of dirty linens. All for you, internet, all for you.
I usually wash White-Harp by hand first, which she likes to think of as a nice spa massage.

Some of the photos make her seem whiter than she was, but this is a good indicator of exactly how grey she’s become. Ouch, I’m such a bad Harp caretaker.
White-Harp hugs the Tide detergent with relief.
And now for her spa treatment!
Ooh? Is that a little cold for you, White-Harp?
Heeeeeeee. She looks so content like this. Nice and warm!
Getting a good belly rub.
On a completely vain note, I have the hands of a nine-year-old child, no?
Tickle, tickle, tickle! She's looking cleaner already.
And now for her back.
Ah, that's better! She looks so much happier.
After a nice massage, it was time to make a stop at our local laundromat.
White-Harp waits for her turn in the washing machine.
White-Harp usually goes for a spin with my bedlinens. I love her, but she’s not worth $1.75 to wash alone. Also, having sheets, pillowcases, and my duvet cover with her protects her.

In addition to washing her with my bedlinens, I also tuck her inside a pillowcase for extra comfort.

Going in! Last chance to back out, White-Harp.
No? Okay, well, too late now! Door's shut.
Whee!!!! White-Harp goes for a spin.
And half an hour later…
After an invigorating wash, White-Harp is now ready for a dry sauna.

White-Harp emerges all pretty and clean.
Poor White-Harp. I promise to never let you go this long without a proper bath again. Look at how pretty you are all white and clean!
I love that you took photos of this. :)
