Hi friends. It's time for another Tuesday 4. If you haven't joined in yet, please do.
Can we talk about housekeeping and chores today since January was usually the time for white sales and replacing linens and towels for the household.
1. My mother ironed sheets and pillowcases. I iron the cases but not the sheets. I feel that the cases feel better after ironing and I like the fancy ruffles etc to look better. What do you do? Is ironing a waste of time for you?
It's not a waste of time, it's a good use of time.
I don't mind ironing as it produces good results and makes clothing neater.
2. A few friends really enjoy ironing. Are there any articles of clothing you iron ? And do you send clothing to the dry cleaner?
Today I iron a blouse if I am going out but I also have a steamer I can use. I find the iron faster though. Sometimes I just dampen something and place it in front of a small fan.
I also iron tablecoths if they are too wrinkled . Only suits and coats go to the dry cleaner and things marked for dry clean only. It's rare to use a dry cleaner now though.
3. Home is enhanced by good cooking, clean rooms, freshly made beds, quilt and the lovely touches women bring to things.
I like things on tables, pretty tablecloths on the dining room table, plants here and there and lovely pictures on the walls.
I love to burn candles even though the current fear mongeing psyop is that its bad for you.
I like to keep a clean house too and by the way my new Fuller Carpet Sweeper is working out so well on my carpets.
4. Do you recall Mom or Grandma sprinkling and ironing clothing? Was there a laundry day set aside and an ironing day? What is washday like at your house?
Yes! My mother had a sprinkler for the cothing. She'd sprinklie it then roll it up until it was it's turn to be ironed.
When I was first married, I did the same thing. I did laundry on Monday and ironed on Tuesday.
