these rules sound like i wrote them..my mom used to hang cloths outside when it was cold..i hung cloths just like you mentioned plus you sprinkled them with water and put the cottons in a plastic bag and were put a fridge then ironed the next day......i can't wear anything that is not ironed....i've seen cloths worn that look like they sat in a dryer for a week....i guess i was raised in the old school....i bet there are a lot of house holds that don't have an iron....lol....
