Scary old household hint. Using gasoline to clean YIKES!!!!

Don't try this at home!!! To be done with the accompanying song, "Stairway to Heaven"

Three gallons of gasoline at seventeen cents a gallon, in my washing machine, cleaned perfectly three entire costumes and two waists for which the cleaner would have charged 1.50 each. The washer was manipulated in the usual way, and the garments run through the wringer, thus doing no injury to the hands, my chief objection to the use of gasoline. L.B.W.

All she was worried about was injury to her hands?????
