Information handed down from the old women in my family. Especially good for sanitizing and deodorizing armpits of t-shirts etc.

Anecdote alert with story and with a pretty picture (not mine).

My boss from the bookstore complained that his shirts still had a bad odour after he washed them. He used a dryer. One woman told him to make a paste of bicarb and smear it on the smelly bits etc. I said he need to dry them in the sunshine, maybe not every wash, but sometimes. Washing/soaking them in bicarb, water and vinegar would assist as well.
He and the woman looked a bit stunned at my suggestion. I mean copious amounts of sunshine in the SW of the USofA, but so many people use dryers. Clotheslines are rare creatures there.

We don’t own a drier. Everything is dried on the clothes line, except when it rains consistently for many days, and then we use inside fold-up drying racks.

I was in the never owned a drier group until last winter…. And whilst our drier stayed dormant over summer it has been getting a workout during the wetter last few weeks because convenience is our priority and I hate drying racks inside.

But you know what? People are allowed to choose their choice when it comes to how they run their own house. So dry rack on, night hang away, and undercover to the hearts content.
