Laundering and ironing can be simple practices taken for granted by most, yet much needed ritual in every household. Who likes a basket full of piled up dirty laundry in a room's corner interfering with normal peace of mind?
This task carries foremost priority in my daily to do list, and if due to some reason goes neglected, leads to pointless self blame till the deed is done.
To separate whites from colors and applying detergent on specific dirt stubborn areas before loading into the machine at night, makes it easier for the other day.
An aerated, well lit laundry room with round the clock water and power supply goes a long way in making this task less irksome. A dryer is a must during wet and grey winter days.
I've a queer way of managing my time, as both automatic and semi-automatic washing machines are working together along with my manual work for 'only hand wash' clothes; and with in an hour string spanning the whole breath of backyard is ready displaying various pieces of colorful, washed clothes. Ironically, automatic washing machine takes the longest time to finish its cycle, tempting me to wash most of them manually at times.
As far as ironing clothes is concerned, it's like meditation removing those not so stubborn creases comparable to solving entangled thoughts in mind.
An additional benefit, you lose lots of calories to keep yourself fit and satisfaction of doing all by yourself. I still remember those days when I used to get clothes ironed by a hired service; most of the time it was an unsatisfactory dealing, I had to re-iron before arranging them in the cupboards.
Simple tasks well done give immense satisfaction and peace of mind.
Try some day!
