Do you ever hang your clothes out on the line to dry
I was feeling really stupid and wasteful running the dryer when the temperature was 99 in the shade. So I bought a retractible clothesline and now it lives on my deck. Things from the line smell so nice! I still do towels in the dryer, though, because they come out fluffier. At first I forgot that you're supposed to turn things inside
michael kors outlet store out before hanging them. It only takes one afternoon in our sun for fading to set in.
I too remember my mom sprinkling the clothes and putting them in the fridge. I don

I iron NOTHING. If it not going to come out wearable from the dryer, then either I don buy it or I send it to the dry cleaners. How times have changed!
I love hanging out the laundry, and I hang out at least 3 loads weekly. You're right--this time of year is the best--breeze

When I was little, we had a scottie, and a fenced-in back yard. Mom found solid laundry baskets, because anything left in the yard was a possible "territorial target." and she didn't want her clean laundry to be "sprinkled" that way!
She also sprinkled down the clothes with self-mixed starch and rolled and ironed them, though I don't remember her putting them in the fridge. She had my old highchair, without the back and sides, that she sat on to do the ironing.

I remember when we actually got
