As you've probably seen by my countless posts about it- my girlfriend is letting me mess her up for my birthday in a couple days. I just ordered a new maxi dress, and was debating ordering a new jean jacket as well since I want her to wear one for it (yes, I know, it's a little odd) but I don't want to mess up any of the ones she currently has.

Ideally said denim jacket survives the pie and the slime and she can wear it for other stuff- but I want to make sure they don't stain easily before I do so.

If it matters- I'm planning on doing pies via whipped cream or shaving cream on a plate, and a couple different colors of slime using the Nickelodeon recipe.

The trick to cleaning WAMmed outfits is wash fast and wash often.

Prep: Before you start have a large plastic flexi-tub ready to drop the messed up clothes in. You can get suitable ones from B&Q for about 8 quid each (pic of the type of thing I mean attached).

Right after the event, put the messy clothes in the washing machine, add double the usual amount of detergent, turn off the spin cycle, and wash on the longest cycle at 30 degrees. And add every possible extra rinse.

Then, when that cycle finishes, add another double load of detergent and run the same cycle and extra rinses again, this time with the spin turned back on.

What can also help if if before putting the clothes in the machine you stand them fully submerged in the tub of cold water for a while (this is handy if you want to do other things between the session and doing the wash).

An alternative approach of course is just get a dress and jacket from charity shops and bin them afterwards - in which case again have the tub ready but double-lined with 90 litre black bin bags (you want double or even triple lined to avoid leaks, and 90 litre bags will fit the tub properly). After the session dump the clothes in the tub and tie the innermost bag shut. Lift the entire tub out to your wheelie bin and then lift the bags from tub into bin.

If you watch any of our custard shoots you'll see the girls throwing the empty containers into an off-camera bin, it's one of these tubs, with a 90 litre bin bag fitted, one tub usually holds the results of one two-person shoot, whole lot then easy to lift from the dungeon, out through the old kitchens, to the bin store in the house yard.

Noted- thank you so much!

I know that she's planning on showering with everything on once we're finished up- should I then just have her take everything off instead of soaping it all up too? I'm gonna bring a bigger bowl besides that and use that for filling with cold water while she's showering and putting the clothes in there.

A fully clothed hosedown and soap wash is a very good idea, as that's an extra wash effectively.

Our people usually do a fully clothed hosedown and lavish shampoo hair wash at the end of every scene (you can see them in the hosedown videos), and by lavish I mean like quarter of a large bottle of shampoo each time. Makes immense lather which looks amazing as it floods down their backs and over their bottoms when they rinse it off, and of course shampoo is just a different kind of soap so having that flood through the clothes helps too.

The main thing though is water quantity. You want lots and lots and lots of water flowing for ages. I've noticed a lot of people nowadays tend to take quite quick short showers. Personally I think showers are barbarian contraptions, my idea of a proper wash is two hours relaxing in the bath. But with post-WAM showering, especially if anything dairy-based has been involved, 10 or 15 minutes should be the aim, not just a couple of minutes.

Perfect!

Yeah I think our planned order of events is fun time (if you get my drift) then messing around then she's going to shower and I think that's gonna be like, fully washing everything off, and then I'm gonna have her take a full shower with the dress and jacket still on because she's gonna want to wear both for non- WAM stuff, and then a regular shower before bed.

And seconded regarding that lather. The first time she ever wore a maxi dress in the shower- before she even knew I'm into this - I still have a picture of the suds running down the back of her dress from neck to foot and it's gotten me off countless times.

Definitely shower in the gear and apply lavish amounts of shampoo - it's more of the fun and less of the cleanup. The sight and feeling of the mess washing through the clothes followed by shampoo doing the same is lovely.

That said, I do find it takes a few washes to deal with any 'off' dairy product aroma but it goes in the end.
