Can you guess why this piece of
plain facing
is "hanging" around outside
in the sun
on a breezy day?
Think about it.
Someone found this bundle

I started to use it to interface a
As I unfolded it,
the cigarette smoke
met my nose.
I thought about washing it,
but didn't think it would wash well.
Thinking the weather was without rain for the next few days,
I placed it outside.
A block of wood weighed it down.
One day might have worked,
but after 3 days,
when I got back to it
it smelled like the outdoors.
Wonderful!
Glad I thought of those days,
I used to hang out my laundry.
I think rain wouldn't have hurt it either.
Cigarette smoke is awful to try to get rid of. I sometimes wonder if smokers realize just how bad they smell to us non-smokers.
ReplyDeleteMy mother swore by hanging her laundry on the line, and I did it for many years, too. But mine always ended up smelling less than fresh - city life!
ReplyDeleteThere was a fire in a school I worked in years ago and when we went to collect our belongings afterwards, of course everything smelled of smoke. We were told to hang our coats outside for a few days (it was in March) and it really worked to get the smoky smell out of them. I thought you might be bleaching some kind of stain - I've done that too with vinegar and sun.
