I would like to see a laundry product that you could wash your clothes and when they come out wet and you hange them to dry there would be no wrinkles. I hang most of my clothes to dry with the exception of bedding and towels.

I remember my mom hanging the clothes on the clothesline to dry, and the laundry gently flapping in the breeze.

 

The clothes never had any wrinkles on them.

 

 

 

She even put towles and sheets on the clothesline to dry!

@Plaid Pants2  they used to make better fabrics than they do now.  I never had stuff that came out all wrinkled ,until they started buying all the clothing from abroad

I think the washing machines spin the clothes so hard that the clothes come out of the machine so wrinkled.  It's like everything gets twisted up.

I loved the way my fresh bed linens smelled after being line-dried.  We lived in the relatively air pollution-free suburbs in the 1960's.

My washer has a gentle-spin cycle for delicates. But I also use it when I want to hang-dry some things and this makes them come out of the washer less wrinkled.

I will try the gentle cycle. I don't have a clothes line I live in a condo but my grandmother always line dried and you are tight, never any wrinkles! my clothes usually do very well drying outside but when I was my son's dress shirts and pants not so much:-( I end up having to iron them.

We did hang everything out to dry - there was no such thing as a clothes dryer or we would have dried them inside!!  But thru the years of outdoor hanging, my things did have wrinkles and needed ironing much of the time. Possibly because the clothes had to be put thru a wringer to get water out. (There weren't any fabric softeners either, and only 1 detergent type item I can remember.)

I use a bit of fabric softener in the rinse cycle.

The clothes still look wrinkled but once dried, they are OK

I dry my laundry outside.
