My Labor Day Chores

[dimmzy]

Since it's LABOR day, I thought I'd do chores that I've been putting off. I've:

1) washed all my dining room windows using environmentally friendly vinegar and water

2) washed the dining room curtains and hung them on the line. (Sorry, I'm obsessed with line drying -- it's the only chore I love)

3) washed the inside of my picnic cooler.

And it's only 7:57!!

You want to be environmentally friendly and do a kick-ass job on windows - use those microfiber cloths and water.

I am not kidding - I bought one of those mops and the cloths at the Dutchess County Fair this year. The duster thing is so much better than swiffer.

I used the cloth and just plain water on my windows - amazing sreak-free results. Even when the sun shines right through the windows - no streaks!

Then let's start a revolution!

Line drying will solve a lot of the energy crisis.

Electric dryers EAT energy.

My electric bill is only $28 a month.

And my neighbors are entertained.

I have always wondered why people think of it as 'low class". I love the smell of line hung clothes - especially sheets.

TOTALLY!!!

I'd say "word" but I'm too old.

Our covenants don't forbid them, but I almost wish they did, as I would love to attend the annual meeting and bring up the idea of allowing them, just to watch the pinched faces and seat-squirming gong on, especially if I brought a reporter or two.

Go for it, Cal!

Same here, CAL. We just moved in, and I'm wondering about the things that kinda have to be line-dried (down comforters and the like).

[TheCalvinator24]

Oh, and my chore of the day is to mow the lawn.

Gotta get it done before I get a warning from my HOA about the tall grass.

[kayrharris]

No clothes lines in our neighborhood either.

Get that grass cut NOW, Cal.

Ours does too.

My laundry room is upstairs. We have nice sized bamboo rack in the laundry room which I use for delicates. More and more of the girls' tops need special care, so I just hang them up, rather than using the dryer.

We also have a "pony wall" that I use to air dry comforters and blankets. I have to flip them over, during the process, but only takes a few hours in the summer. The nice advantage to hanging laundry inside is that your clothes don't fade from the sun.

But they also don't get that great smell that only line drying can give.

I guess they're afraid the flapping clothes will bother the golfers.

Haven't you ever heard of Bounce?

of course I have.

Bounce dried clothes smell nothing like line dried clothes.

Not even close

I use Fabric Softener in the wash.

Because next they'll be hanging clothes on fences and trees!

That's what our renters did, anyway. The neighbors had a fit.
