Secrets to Hanging the Wash Correctly

Washday can be a nightmare if the washing is not hung correctly. How should wet clothes be hung? What colour pegs? Where do the smalls go? What about the unmentionables? How do you deal with deviate spying neighbours. All these answers come to life in "Wisdom of the Ancients - Episode 8 - Hanging Out". It won 2nd Prize at the Short Fuse Film Festival.

I thoroughly enjoyed this:) Mrs. Jenkins seems a bit obsessive-compulsive, although some of it helps. I don't use 3 pegs per towel, I just give the ends a tug when I fold to bring them back to shape. I'd like to see a video on folding the clothes when they are taken off the line. Thanks for the chuckle:)

Thanks Mumbuck, I think Mrs Jenkins may start doing some "obsessive-compulsive" research into folding.

I like the line about shielding the wash from the "crazed eyes of degenerate perverts"!

Still my favorite vid on clothes line operation. Inspired me to construct my "Clothes Whirly" and post the vid of it on YouTube.

[mslyndseylou]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I too hang my clothes out to dry, but I don't bother pulling socks right side out because socks tend to stretch more when wet. I pull it right side out when it's dry =).

This is hilarious. What's really too funny is I hang all unmentionables in the middle lines!

[kaitlynbad13]

LOL! She mixed matched the pegs on the sheet, and it attracted birds!

Glad to know that hanging clothes is the same all round the world. It is a dying art. Clothes are put wrong side out with the thickest washing facing the sun. Most washing shd be dried about the same time and collected tog without being in the sun longer than nec ;) Sun-kissed sheets/towels smell so good.

I learnt this way, and if i was still using the clothes hoist they would be hung like this........old habits die hard..... :-D
