Many of us do not even think about some of the intricacies of hanging laundry after washing. And it seems that drying clothes is the simplest procedure. But this is not entirely true! Sometimes, with the wrong approach to hanging the laundry, its appearance can deteriorate very much!
Here are the recommendations of our grandmothers, which are still relevant now!
Clothesline
If you dry your clothes outside or on the balcony, be sure to wipe the rope or knitting needle of the dryer on which you will hang your clothes. Dirt, dust and various germs very quickly settle on surfaces, and dirty streaks can then remain on your things.
Sort things by color
This is done so that dyes do not get on things of other colors. And it will be even better if you make a small indent between, say, a yellow and a red T-shirt. It is also worth remembering that dark and colored things are afraid of sunlight, and tend to fade, but this does not happen with whites.
Use clothespins correctly
Firstly, it is better to choose clothespins that do not have rusty elements, otherwise they will stain things. Secondly, nearby hanging things that are similar in color can be pinned by the edges with the same clothespin.
Dry your clothes outdoors
If you have a balcony, this is great, you can dry things on it both in summer and in winter. It's just that in a closed room, things are saturated with unpleasant odors, including if they dry for a long time, then they begin to stink of dampness.
Hang your socks by your socks
Hanging socks from the tops can cause them to stretch in the ankle area. Of course, in the area of the socks, the socks can also stretch, but this will happen gradually, rather you will have already thrown them out by that time due to wear and tear.
Arrange things correctly
To avoid creases and creases, it is better to hang large items by the edges, for example, duvet covers and sheets. And it is better to fix the underwear in the middle (so that the neighbors do not discuss your panties). Also, large things can be simply cling to the edges, so that there is still room for small things in the middle.
Hang the shirts by the hem.
If it turns out that there are creases at the bottom, it will be easier to hide them in trousers or a skirt, and there is no need for enhanced ironing and steaming.
Hang your trousers by the edges.
Join the inner crotch seams first, pin the ends with a clothespin on the string, and let the bottom hang down.
Shake things before hanging
This will help remove moisture from your clothing. It would seem such a simple procedure, but so useful. In addition, it will be much easier for you to iron the laundry afterwards.
Not all things can be hung
Not all things can be hung on a rope, for example, this is contraindicated for knitted items, such as sweaters and dresses. They are dried horizontally. The same is done with other stretchy things. By the way, you can see on the clothing label which horizontal or vertical drying is best for it. Lace underwear is not blown dry as lace may deteriorate. If a thing has a lot of all kinds of cuts, ripped seams, and it is also sewn from a very heavy fabric, then it should not be hung on a rope or string either. Otherwise, the weight of the wet fabric will simply stretch the incisions, making them wider.
Here are some simple tips. I know that now many housewives will say: “I have always hung clothes like this, you didn’t reveal anything new to me,” but I still hope that such information will be useful for someone!
