Sort and Separate

Even though automatic washers and dryers have taken the work out of the task, you still need to sort your laundry before washing. You not only need to pay attention to the colors of the clothing, but also the fabric.

Sort By Color

• Separate white articles from the laundry basket or hamper. This includes underwear, socks, towels, linens, all white or very light colored articles. Put them in a pile.
• Separate lightly colored articles – put them in their own pile
• Separate dark colored clothing or other articles – towels, jeans, socks, sweatshirts, t-shirts, etc. Put them all in a pile.

Sort By Manufacturers Instructions

Ignoring the manufacturer’s recommendations for laundry care is not smart. Don’t learn the hard way by ruining that blouse you just bought for $65.00 and wore once.

• Go through each pile separately. Look at each article and read the recommended washing instructions.
• Some recommend hand washing in cold water only and laying flat to dry, or line dry.
• Some tell you to wash with like items, hot temperature and dry in automatic drier at medium heat temperature.
• Some say no chlorine bleach; some say tumble dry, with low or no heat.

Washing

Set the water temperature. use hot water for whites, warm water for all other loads. Cold water can be used with detergent specifically made for washing in cold water.

Check for stains and pretreat them before washing. Concentrated laundry detergent might also help to pretreat.

Set the washing cycle. Consider the clothing you are washing to set either normal, permanent press or a gentle cycle. Most clothes can use a normal cycle.

Add your laundry detergent. Check the instructions for the proper amount as some detergents are more concentrated than others.

Add the clothes. Do not overfill the machine. Overloading the washing machine will cause your clothes not to wash properly and will not rinse completely.

Add any additional liquids to the machine, such as bleach or fabric softener

Close the lid, and now the washing has begun!

Cons

On the downside, not everyone has a large yard conducive to constructing a clothesline. Small or nonexistent yards can make it difficult to put up a clothesline capable of drying your clothing. In addition, many homes are built in areas that have very restrictive building codes. This means the color of your home, clothesline, and even the state of your garage (open or closed) is strictly regulated.

Solution

The good news is even if you live where there is no yard at all or the most restrictive codes you can employ one of the many urban clotheslines on the market. These products offer you the option of having a retractable clothesline, indoor clothesline or even ceiling mounted dryers.

It seems the clothes line has almost become extinct, which is sad really. Drying your clothes out of doors gives them a fresh scent that only nature can provide while potentially saving you a ton of money on energy bills. If you have been searching for areas you can cut expenses on it may be time to revisit the classic clothes line.

Many people are loathe to put up a clothesline for fear it will drop property values or look tacky. This is a valid concern especially if you live in an area controlled by a homeowners association. Thankfully, someone thought of these issues and others when they created quality retractable clotheslines.

A retractable clothes line is only seen while it is in use and easily stores away the rest of the time. These are also handy for small laundry room situations. These can be single or multiple line clotheslines and can be used with a pole kit or without.

A nice example of retractable clotheslines for the medium to large family is the Hills Sietro 6:

• Six individual lines
• Store away cabinet
• Individual line tensioning
• Wide line spacing
• Useable between walls, wall – post or post-post
• Rust resistant
• PVC coated lines
• Handles all sheet sizes

The Hills Sietro 6 clothes line is easily useable by the elderly and is available in the USA or Canada. Do not let limited space or aesthetics keep you from the joy of hanging your clothing on a clothesline. You can save money on your energy bills, have fresh smelling clothes and do your part to help the environment. Not a bad combination for a simple idea.
