Betty is a lifesaver when it comes to laundry. She believes that simple products, such as a bar of Ivory soap and a scrub brush, and low-tech approaches, such as soaking a stain before you wash, are the secrets to getting clothes clean and keep them looking new. Betty's old-fashioned methods and six decades of washing experience make for a fun modern-day laundry room manual.

Betty's surefire methods should be a class called Laundry 101."--Katrina Beck, senior, Muhlenberg College

I would be lost without Betty,
By
This review is from: Betty's Book of Laundry Secrets (Paperback)
...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.

I knew most of this after 25 years of laundry.,
By "ellymaye" (Cicero, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Betty's Book of Laundry Secrets (Paperback)
Good advice, especially for beginners, however I knew most of this. Seems a little dated...never mentions the new oxygen cleaners or liquid detergent(she only talks about powdered detergent). Does offer good suggestions for generalized stain removal. Great for college students or newlyweds.
