FROM INDOORS TO OUT

Though the days are now long, and warm enough to begin hanging laundry outside, rain and wind still bluster in with little warning. A clothes horse provides an excellent solution, as on sunny days, it can be carried outside where the breeze freshens the sheets and the gently bleaching sun keeps whites bright. It is important to keep the clothes horse clean, however, as accumulated dust or worn wood can mark fabric. A good rub with a damp cloth should be sufficient, but wooden versions may periodically need sanding down and repainting.
