Washing blankets in Morocco doesn't mean just tossing them in the washing machine or taking them to the laundromat. The washing machines are generally too small for the heavy, plush blankets. Laundromats haven't caught on either. So this is how you do it:
1. Get a nice, sturdy plastic tub that is about half as tall and about twice as wide as a laundry basket.
2. Take the blankets and tub to the roof.
3. Fill the tub with soap and water.
4. Slip off your sandles,
5. Wash your blankets (one at a time) I Love Lucy style.
I tried it and just like Lucy, the splash between my toes put a smile on my face (no fighting though).
