Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 Elyse: Good post on how to do your laundry. I completely agree about the static cling. I went more " natural " with my laundry some months ago and was also concerned about the static cling. It never happened. Of course, I rarely overdry anything and especially with synthetic clothing, hang it when it is still damp. A lot of people are not aware that using a dryer on clothes really does shorten their lives. My son is still wearing some sweatshirts that are over 5 years old and still look good because I taught him to use the dryer sparingly. And lastly - about the fabric softeners. I read somewhere that among other things, softeners often contain formaldehyde. Ugh (When I go for my daily walk and I smell the dryer fumes coming out of people's vents, I hold my breath and step up the pace). Cheers > Quote
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 Penny, same with me, I walk by houses and the smell of the softeners coming out of them is so strong. Not only formaldehyde but a whole host of toxins are in there - it's funny, people complain about pollution but they're adding to it every time they do their laundry. Wish we could ban fabric softeners, air 'fresheners' etc :-) On 27-Feb-05, at 4:32 PM, penny martin wrote: > Elyse: > > Good post on how to do your laundry. > > I completely agree about the static cling.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 Does that work on blouses?? Mine usually cling all over if there going to do it.. SuziBLoe <bloe@...> wrote: Another tip for reducing Static Cling-Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip or garment and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Samething works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and -voila - static is gone. hth BarbL Everyone is raving about the all-new beta. Quote
