Monday Chit Chat

 


  The past few days have been busy with various things like daughter Sheila's birthday on Friday and our wedding anniversary on Sunday.  We have been married for 62 years.  All 3 sons came by ( well, one lives right here so he technically just came through the connecting door).  The weather was cold but clear with the morning starting out at just 1C. 
Granddaughter Kate came by too. She came to visit and also to cut my hair which was getting just too long. 


It's Monday and for those of us who do our laundry on this day I have some information that I gleaned from the internet....It answers a question that I've wondered about, and that is whether it's better to wash clothes inside out or does it even matter?

  • You can extend the life of your clothes, preserve colors, and prevent damage to delicate fabrics by washing clothes inside out.
  • Most clothes benefit from being washed inside out. This includes activewear, jeans, shirts, and pieces with embellishments or special detailing.
  • If you have stains on your clothes, you’ll need to pre-treat the stains and clean the items right side out for the most effective stain removal.

.   Thanks for visiting.

    I don't wash my clothes inside out, but I think I just might do that. Hanging them up outside might be better inside out too.

  15. Congratulations on your 62nd wedding anniversary! I wish you many more.

    I wash some things inside out, mostly if indicated on the label, and some knits. I think it prevents some pilling. But who knows?

  16. Happy anniversary! That's a wonderful amount of time to be married. Here I thought our 47 years were a long time!!! I love that your kids live close by. I sure wish our boys were closer to us. Thanks for the laundry information. I have wondered about that too. Here's to praying for many more happy years together for the two of you.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

  17. I've never washed my clothes inside out, simply because I didn't know it was a good thing to do!!! Happy Anniversary, Mr D and I will celebrate our 63rd later this month.
