For Cheryl Mendelson laundering is the best part of housekeeping.
It's full of physical pleasures -- the look of favorite clothes
restored to freshness and beauty, the tactile satisfaction of crisp
linens in beautifully folded stacks. Good laundering preserves
things you love and protects your pocket book. It doesn't take much
time or effort. What it takes is knowledge, and "Laundry" is the
comprehensive, entertaining, and inspiring new book on the art of
laundering.
Culled from the bestselling "Home Comforts, " with revised and
updated information and a new introduction, "Laundry" is an
indispensable guide to caring for all the cloth in one's home: from
kitchen rags to bedding, hand-washables, and baby clothes to
vintage linens. Mendelson offers detailed guidance on when to
disregard labels, removing stains, making environmentally informed
choices, sewing, and storing clothing and fabrics. A much-needed
antidote to the standard-issue how-to manual, "Laundry" celebrates
the satisfactions of ironing, folding, and caring for clothes and
linens. Both pragmatic and eloquent, Mendelson provides beginning
and veteran homemakers with a seamless combination of reliable
instruction, time-tested advice, and fascinating personal
narrative.
As a farm girl in Pennsylvania, Mendelson -- who is a
philosopher, lawyer, and professor, as well as a homemaker, wife,
and mother -- received a classic domestic education from her
grandmothers, aunts, and mother. "Laundry" combines the best of the
traditional lore they taught her with the latest in technical and
scientific information. Writing with infectious love and respect
for her subject, Mendelson is sure to instill in readers a newfound
affection and appreciation for the art of laundering.
