- Sort by color
- now by weight
- keep reds from whites
- and darks from brights
- pastels here, towels there
- please separate the socks and
- pull them out of the pant legs
- turn them right side out
- zip the zippers, empty pockets
- jeans by themselves right here
Now,
check for stains
first wet, then Shout
Is it white? make it hot
Is it dark? keep it cold
toss the load in the wash
(Is that my silk? NO!
NOT the silk!)
dry clean only gets Dryel
measure in the Tide
Set to normal for your jeans
(Do you
hear that freight train coming?)
Did you BALANCE right the load?
Is it sunny? Is it breezy? You can hang them out to dry
(You DID remember the
Downy at the rinse, right?)
Pre fluff the towels in the dryer
Do that with jeans as well
(Yes, I know that seems redundant,
but do you want cardboard
on your legs?)
Is it raining? Use the dryer, but with the Downy sheets instead
snap the clothes down from the line
to shake out wrinkles, knock off
fuzz
match up the socks
Fold them straight out of the dryer
hang them directly onto hangers
(What do you mean, you forgot?)
Great, OK,
pull out the iron and the board
not too hot, use the steam
(
What about my silk shirt?)
You know, on second thought
I've got this covered
How 'bout you go do the dishes
