One day, there's just going to be the sudden lack of videos for a month Then they will post a video explaining their house combusted from them directing all the sunlight which reached their house around a 1 mile radius into one spot on their house.
I'm someone who already burned a couple clothes ironing so I'm really impressed that how hard is to do this hahahaha But I'm from Brazil so maybe the problem is the iron hahahah
Did you wash the clothes first? Sometimes new clothes have fire retardant on them so that if there is a warehouse fire the clothes don't stoke the fire.
Medieval reenactor here - much better to wear natural fibers when around fires! Polyester will burn and can potentially melt and stick to skin, causing really nasty burns. Natural fibers tend to just smolder and go out pretty quickly.
Yeah I’ve always been told/enforced to wear cotton clothing while welding due to polyester easily melting and sticking to skin so hearing that babies apparently are only allowed to wear polyester was odd to me.
YES I as a kid when I was at my grandma's she would iron i would sit under her sewing table cuz I didnt like the crack sounds I made lol Edit: spelling
I'm having flashbacks to I Love Lucy when Fred and Ricky switch jobs with Lucy and Ethyl and they do the laundry and ironing but burn iron marks into everything. At first Ricky reasons that Lucy won't notice that she has iron-shaped burns on the shirt because he will pass it off as a new pattern. Fred says that won't work because Ethyl has several pieces of clothing with that design already....
The problem is getting cheese grease on your clothes later. But so long as the iron doesn't have any toxic coatings or plating, and you use a different one for your clothes, it sounds like a fun idea.
In college my friends and I used to cover it with foil and cook food on our iron... both right side up and upside down. We made everything from grilled cheese to cookies. Perhaps you could see what you could cook.
My aunt and uncle forgot to turn off the iron and went to bed and it actually caught on fire and burnt the wood of the ironing board. The smell of smoke woke them up and they quickly turned off the fire. So better be careful. Very grateful that they weren't hurt and that there was not much damage done
Aleksandr Rozentsvit we have a bottle of it at the store I work at and I looked at it the other day and immediately wondered what would happen to it in liquid nitrogen haha
Nate: we are leaving it there for 5 minutes Me: ok Nate: I’m going to wiggle it when it try’s to turn off Me: sure Nate: we are putting it on top Me: ok... you’re reaching Nate: we are putting it on wood so the heat is not absorbed Me: you want to burn your house and the clothes Edit: Callie: BLOWTORCH!! Me: YES
I'd suggest trying some of the iron based life hacks that come and go online, things like reheating a slice of pizza, making s'mores, making waffles, things like that.
Funny, literally all of my daughters clothes, diaper clothes, everything were made from natural fibers... Did you know wool is a fire retardant? That's a natural fiber...... Can you post your sources for your "baby clothes can't be made from nature in the US" claim?
I was always taught that cotton is waaay safer than polyester in a fire hazard situation because cotton will only char but not burn, and poyester will melt to your skin and burn your skin off.
Could you do an experiment in making water taste better without adding sugar or sweeteners. I've personally thought of grinding up sun dried peppermint leaves into a powder and seeing if I can make other tasty water flavors that are healthy.
My late grandmother had an old old iron, like an antique one. The kind you would have to heat up on a stove and then use that to press iron clothing. She used it as a door stopper but said it was still functional.
I have heard about using a clothes iron for an improvised hot plate. Grilled cheese? Fry an egg? Hamburger is iffy, I don't think those irons would get hot enough, but you could still try.
You could try one of those old antique irons that's solid metal because they had to be heated up on a stove, and then heat it until it's completely red (maybe in the foundry).
I thought of an idea for you, not with irons, but, rather, with otter pops. Can you use the liquid syrup thing in otter pops to make soda with a soda stream or other soda maker?
I know firefighers who won't own any clothes that aren't 100% cotton (except shoes which have to be natural leather)... cotton will burn much more easily than polyester, but if you're wearing polyester and it's exposed to enough heat it'll melt and stick to your skin and the only way to get it off is to rather painfully abrade off the skin, and that's bad if it's, for example, a whole shirt.
The old fashioned irons (I mean like the ones used before electric ones were available) were actually heated useing fire from the stove which is why they say not to leave the iron on the clothes
Baby clothing can certainly be made of natural fabrics in the US. Cotton is the most common fabric for baby clothing. There are regulations about children’s sleepwear related to flammability, but the regulations do not restrict the fabric content.
I graduated fire school a few months ago. We are taught (and experience) that synthetics burn faster and worse (fumes and heat) than natural materials. Interesting statement. 2:42
