Well, seeing we are still thinking about laundry and killing little creatures, I will chime in too.
Firstly, from schooldays, I recall Willy Kitch, otherwise Miss Averilda Williams who taught Domestic Science, drumming it into us that we should iron stuff to kill germs. Second, the friend who recommended using meths instead of conditioner also said she hangs washing out, brings it in, irons it and hangs it out again. Rather too much handling for me, but I did discover that modern washing machines seem to spin things well enough to put them on the ironing board straight away. This was particularly useful when I had two years in Wet Wales, and my first Really Good Spinner on a front loader. I could take the washing to the upstairs landing, iron it, then spread it on racks overhanging the stairwell, where warm air from downstairs finished off the job started by the iron. I felt the benefit was firstly the sanitising action of the steam, lots of steam, and secondly the reduced drying time of partly dry washing. Plus there was no beating the results from ironing so damp, and the luxury of having even my teatowels ironed! Ooh, simple pleasures! The information about mold on cotton fluff is very sobering and good to know about. If the washing can't go out into the Aussie sunshine here, I hang it on little lines slung here and there in my laundry, or iron and hang on hangers, or a mixture of methods, but sometimes use the dryer. Having bought a dryer that sends the hot air out through a grill in the door, I thought I was well off in that it was so easy to remove the fluff every time. Now I wonder where else the lint might be collecting. And oh, dear! Where is the stuff that escapes the filter? All over the dampest room in the house!
