I remember ironing clothes without a steam iron. Yep, my Mom used to sprinkle the dry clothes with water from a coke bottle. You could buy those tops that fit on the bottle especially for sprinkling clothes. Then she would put them in a bag in the refrigerator until I could iron them. Sometimes we had more clothes than food in the frige. LOL

I was looking through a copy of The Vermont Country Store catalog the other day. They had one of those sprinkler things you stick in a coke bottle. It made me remember my mom sprinkling the clothes and putting them in the refrigerator too.

Yep....I remember those too.....my mom hated ironing.

My wife...she irons all her cotton stuff....which in today's time means just about all clothes for warm weather doesn't it?

Oh boy, my mother made a first-class ironer out of me, and I sure remember sprinkling the clothes (except we used a Pepsi bottle). We always had a mangle (how many people can say that?!) which made the job easier.

Wow! Forgot about that!! Remember "Spoolies"? Those little pink things we used to curl our hair? I will NEVER know how we managed to sleep on those things!!

And, yep...I'm one of the group!!

I DO!!!! Did you do the wash on Monday's? Ironing on Tuesday because the clothes HAD to stay in there overnight????

How about taking in the clothes from the clothesline after school, in the fall when it was cold, and the blue jeans were STIFF? Like they could walk away all by themselves? How about the wringer washer?
