[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 734808, member: 21572"] Question for all. When hanging the likes of towels and things like that (sheet-like things), do you give each a good snap or shake before pinning to the line to dry? I do, always have. It helps to open the item up, helps shake-out the wrinkles, and in doing so, the item hangs nicer and more straighter on the line. I used to do the whip-like snap when hanging diapers... did the same with the rubber pants, too, as they always held water inside of them after washing. Give each pair of rubbers a good snap/shake, turn outside, in, follow-up with another snap/shake, pin to line. Another trick I did when hanging rubber pants to dry, was I'd pin the pants on one side only (by the elastic waistband) so the pants hung at an angle, which allowed any leftover water-droplets to drip out of the bottom elastic leg hole. No damp elastics when rubber pants were pulled down off the line. As for hang-drying bed and crib sheets on the line, my favourite method was to drape them over the line and apply 2-3 pins across the top of said sheets to secure. With larger sheets and things, you really didn't need to pin them, because they hung evenly over the line, but applying a couple of security pins ensured the sheets stayed draped over the line. LOL! Anyone else wash plastic bags by-hand and hang them to dry on the line? I do... :cautious: [/QUOTE]
