Helpful Hints from joeeze: Lazy person's way to press your sheets

Christiane Lemieux, DwellStudio founder and creative director, told Jennifer Barger in a Q&A published June 4, 2009 in the Washington Post Home section, "And if you don't feel like ironing sheets, take them out of the dryer when they're still a little bit damp and put them on the bed. It's the lazy person's way of pressing them."

I'm on it.

Bonus hint from Ms. Lemieux: "If you've got a percale, wash it it inside out so prints don't fade so much over time."
