I just finished your linen washing video. I love linen clothes and stared replacing my wardrobe but i don't want to ruin the material and dry cleaning is expensive!! So, thank you for your videos
I know that fabric softener helps prevent wrinkles in clothes, that it feels nice and smells good BUT it also helps to damage clothes faster as it also softens the fibers of the fabric and this makes it less resistant to wear and tear. So depending on the type of garment (personally none), we should not use fabric softener, to prevent it from tearing or breaking prematurely. English is my second language and I used a translator because I couldn't explain it properly, I hope you can understand me well 😅 I know that fabric softener help to avoid wrinkles and kinda feels nice and smell good BUT you should be aware that the softness on the fibers would make it less resistance to the tear and were, so depending on the material of the garment it will wear out faster. Sorry if I don't explain myself well, English is my second language 😅 But if you have questions please ask.
What I'm trying to find the answer to if how to prevent stiffness. When the clothes dry they almost could stand up on their own because they're so stiff.
@@marthaneal1988 you are right. Use less detergent & use white vinegar instead of fabric softener. Too much detergent & the use of fabric softener leaves a residue & that's why laundry dries stiff.
@@Organizing-TV For decades I would have agreed w/ you...but not any more. 🙂 It leaves residue & that's not good. Plain white vinegar is a great alternative. And most people use way too much detergent...that leaves residue, also.
This is great advice for the use of hangers. I wanted to ask you that the type of hanger that you're using in 5:00 is it a strong plastic or is it felt material? I use to have plenty of felt black hangers and I didn't really find smooth black plastic hangers. Can you use either one or does it have to be specific to one of those?
I'm glad it was helpful :D That particular one is made from wood. I generally try to use those wide shouldered ones that are often used for jackets, but I think the ones you have will be sufficient
I generally hang them over multiple prongs to distribute the weight as they are drying. The towels only need a few, but for a sheet I'd probably use an entire rack. Just keep in mind that these big items will need circulation to dry at a reasonable speed
No worries, I'm happy to help! As for the exact same drying rack I am not sure. But I did link the most similar products I could find on US Amazon in the videos description
