Excellent reference guide for the laundry impaired!

At my age, I've done more piles of wash than I'd care to imagine. However, there was plenty of stuff in this volume to add to my established techniques. Betty's Book of Laundry Secrets will help you get done quickly and efficiently from pre-wash to folding and putting the last sheet away. This book is an excellent gift for a college student or any young person going out on her/his own. And, if you're interested in perfecting your skills, you'll find a lot here to use.

Clothesline secrets

Lovely book for those who know not about laundry if ever there was a handly little reference book this is it. I enjoyed from beginning to end and refer to it often as well as my daughter. The best is the clothesline........

I would be lost without Betty

...Betty's Book of Laundry Secrets is a life saver. I bought it instantly upon seeing it at my local book store. After flipping through the pages I tossed it in my basket and brought it home. Full of tidbits like turn your pants inside out when ironing them, and then flip them outside out to iron in the crease. Or the right way to iron a shirt (I could never quite get it right), and why you should iron everything while damp.Betty knows her laundry, and I'm SOOO glad I know about Betty. I cannot reccomend this book highly enough. My girlfriend loves it too. We take it to the laundry room with us just in case, often referring to it when we're not sure what pile to put what in, or what to wash in cold or hot, or what to hand wash (and how). Then an hour later we consult it on how to fold fitted sheets, or pants, or shirts.
