OOH that smell!!!

[retro-man]

Tide regular detergent with a dose of Downy April fresh a load of white towels and hung outside for 2 days. In the sub zero weather and blowing in the wind, just brought them in and folded them. The scent is heavenly. Nothing can compare. Have done 3 loads of towels and hung them out this week. I guess I am hardcore. Sheets and towels get hung out year round. I know my mother is smiling down on me. She would hang clothes out year round also. She used the dryer only when we had numerous days when it was raining. I use it for all other clothing all the time.

didn't those freeze?
I don't understand how they would "dry" in sub-zero weather.

Ice sublimes to water vapour. Also known as freeze drying.

As in "freeze dried" coffee,amoung other things.

Mind you ,the stress caused by freezing and subsequent thawing of some textile fibers may cause damage.

And not to mention the freezing on the hands too. I hung laundry out once in the winter and that was it ..once! My hands were so cold...and yes I tried to hang the clothes out with mittens and gloves on but it was a pain. In the winter I just open the window behind my dryer and let the air flow into the dryer as it runs. I get the same effect. And on a day like today where the dewpoint is -7 which is bone dry air...it doesnt take long for the dryer to dry the clothes.

Six pins Dolores, you know how I like them.

Bonus Question:

What washing machine did Dolores C. use in the film?

Yea well, at least on a really cold day, one does not have to worry about rain. Nor birds for that matter in most cases.
