<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>For Cheryl Mendelson, laundering is the best part of housekeeping.</b> 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 pocketbook. It doesn't take much time or effort. What it takes is knowledge, and <i>Laundry</i> is the comprehensive, entertaining, and inspiring book on the art of laundering. <p/>Culled from the bestselling <i>Home Comforts, </i> with revised and updated information and a new introduction, <i>Laundry</i> 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. <p/>A much-needed antidote to the standard-issue how-to manual, <i>Laundry</i> 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. <p/>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. <i>Laundry</i> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Cheryl Mendelson</b> is a Harvard Law School graduate, a sometime philosophy professor, a novelist (<i>Morningside Heights</i> and <i>Love, Work, Children), </i> and a homemaker by choice.
