Found On The Net: The Power Of Dawn

Most of us fiber artists know to use Dawn, dishwashing detergent, to wash our yarns and garments. It's interesting to learn that Dawn is more powerful than Vaseline or corn oil for lubricating purpose.

In Connecticut recently, three fox babies got their head stuck in a storm gate for about two days. Animal control came but could not get the fox babies out. Fire department was called, got the gate released but still could not get the heads out of the hole. Firemen used Vaseline and corn oil to no avail. Finally Dawn dishwashing liquid did the job and made the little fox head slippery enough to get the babies out. Mama fox had been crying not too far away for days and was happy to get the babies back.
