Observe these simple rules for best results: Since the sun tends to bleach colours, hang whites out in full sunshine (if you want a bleaching effect) and coloureds in the shade. If you hang washing up to dry in the house, avoid placing delicate garments near heat sources. If the clothes line or airer is rusty, place a cloth between the line and the garment.

A sturdy, well-padded ironing board, positioned so as to leave plenty of space all around, is far preferable to the kitchen table.
