I volunteered to clean the ice rags for marching band practice last night. The ice rags help the sweaty kids cool off so they don't pass out at practice - it's a good thing. It involves picking up the rags, washing them, then returning them to school. Not rocket science, but time consuming. My washer got a real workout yesterday with the regular laundry during the day, and rags at night.
The lady that coordinates it all calls herself the Ice Rag Nazi offered to give a demo the first day of band camp. I'm not even kidding.
I washed all of the rags with a little bleach, then spun them well, then grouped them in tens in the coolers. It makes no sense to dry them in the dryer to turn around and wet them down tomorrow.
I also cleaned out the inside of the coolers, because, YUCK. Now all that's left to do is layer them with ice and cold water. Ice rags are a nifty thing on your neck when it's blazing hot at band practice!
