Laundry

Terry Richardsson for Sisley 2010

My favourite housework is doing the laundry. The reason is that I just like my clothes and want to take good care of them. I know it´s not good to be attached to dead things but I don't like animals up close. Mr P favourite is taking care of the shoes. Our wardrobes think we are a good match.

I live in building with many small apartments and a shared washing room. The heavy industrial washing machines in there are not easy to deal with. They suck the life and colour out of the poor clothes. 

Feed me

So I have to be extra careful when washing my clothes and I don't let them near the dryer down there.

Few tips for keeping clothes the same colour they were intended to have:

#Use mild and very little or no washing powder 

(it s also environmental friendly and penny saving, win win!)

#Wash on low heat

#Turn them inside out

#Don't wash them to often 

#Get yourself a good washing machine
#Don´t buy cheap clothes made from crappy materials (this one is hard for me).

One morning last week when I came to the washing room I was greeted by 89 pairs of socks. One of my male neighbours has 90 pairs of socks! (I counted 89 pairs and then he must have been wearing one) OK maybe it´s convenient to only have laundry day every three months but it must be hard to
get along with 89 pairs of dirty socks in a 40 M² apartment. I am going to take a wild guess that he lives alone.
