ARGH! Glad to know you survived and hopefully I will too! Thanks for commenting!

I raised 4 kids. Let me tell you, the laundry was a mountain (I swear, if they so much as looked at an article of clothing while pondering what to wear, into the laundry it went), never mind the ironing pile (it was a pile because, basically, I rarely did it.)
My husband nearly died at my hands once when he said (after I had been away on business for several days) “I don’t know what the big deal about doing laundry is, the washer and dryer do all the work” and I walked into the laundry room to be presented with a pile of unsorted, clothing, about 5 feet high, neither folded nor hung…
Now, he does his laundry and I do mine.
The kids are grown now, so it’s all on an as-needed basis. Much simpler. My first line of defense is a spritz and quick toss in the dryer ( with a clean tennis ball – yes, it is noisy, but tosses the clothes around for better tumbling).
Oh, and did I mention that my one of my daughters taught my youngest son how to iron? I didn’t even know she knew how! Lord knows she didn’t get it from me!

My husband didn’t even know until about a year ago that I could even iron (because I told him I couldn’t…). We have been using this stuff for years and when we’re home and something is really extra wrinkly I will spray it with this & throw it in the dryer with a wet rag on the convenient dewrinkle setting and viola a freshly not-ironed-but-totally-looks-like-it-was article of clothing.

I cant wait to save all those hours I spend standing at the ironing board. Plus, i’ll have my closet spelling that fresh smell too!
Thanks for the post.
