Yep, you're crazy. As a loon. But if you are, I am too! I don't especially enjoy washing clothes by hand, but I like machine-laundering towels.
As far as laundry goes, towels are about the only thing I enjoy doing. I like big, thick, fluffy, expensive towels, and I buy them only when they're on sale at a good price. My favorite color is ivory or cream. I wash my towels in warm water with cold water rinse, and I like fresh smelling detergent. I add a drop or two of fabric softener and dry the towels in the dryer. I take them out as soon as they're dry, and fold them. I once saw Martha Steward demonstrate how to fold towels, so I fold mine in that way. I put them in the linen closet so that all the edges are exactly the same. They look like department store towels on display! I tuck in a lavender sachet or spritz the closet with a linen spray. I enjoy the ';luxury'; of this ritual, and I feel pampered when I use my towels. I like my guests to find pleasure in using my fluffy, sweet-smelling towels.
So, we are kindred spirits in that we both enjoy the textures, smells, and end-result of our labors. It's wonderful that we are able to find joy in such simple, homey things!Am I crazy? I love washing clothes by hand?
So call me crazy too. ! I wash a lot of my tops out by hand.
Roll them in a towel,,, and lay flat to dry.
AND I got one of those outdoor dryer lines up a few weeks ago and it's great!
I live in Florida, so 99% of the time it is nice outside and I am hanging out everything I can out to dry.
It all smells better, I listen to the birds, get some sun,
feel better I'm not using all that electricity on the dryer. :)
I see nothing crazy about that. I love too also but do love my washing machine as with 5 kids and a total of 10 people living in my house, hand washing gets hard. So I mainly will try to hand wash delicates and my 2 toddlers clothes and blankets. I say good for you. :) Have a lovely day.
Hell yes who washes cloths by hand any more!
well, no one can all you lazy. i must be crazy cause i hate to do laundry... it just means you are a heard worker.
I do not blame you. tehre are a few items that i will NOT send through the wash and prefer to take care of them myself
