Best Day For Laundry
Is when a housewive or whomever was going to be doing the wash, woke to find a sunny but breezy mild day. Crisp weather with a good (but not gale force mind) wind did wonders for not only drying laundry quickly, but kept much of everything from becoming stiff as a board.
Trick was to learn which way the wind was going to blow, then hand one's wash not only in that direction but in such a way that the wind would catch and "flow through" items. To this there was a science on how to properly hang laundry towards this aim. Sheets, shirts, blouses, drawers, etc... all had to be hung a certain way not only to catch the wind, but also in some cases to prevent strong breezes from damaging finer items.
