Things have been hectic here with my brood. I loved this post and it's all that dissimilar to what I do. I don't use washing crystals though but I do use a environmentally friendly washing powder that is scent free. I too can not stand washing powder fragrances, besides the scents give me allergies. I love all the minis you've scored, I'm rather obsessed with wanting to find some fabulous minis at present, the two have sent going to cut it, I need more. Hope you're well beautiful Vix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-88434094978473779602014-07-21T13:53:57.830+01:002014-07-21T13:53:57.830+01:00Thanks for all those great washing tips, Vix.

They all line dry inside or outside as the weather permits. I'm so impressed of your care for your vintage wear to sell. Lucky customers. Now to look for washing crystals. Never heard of them before.paohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642040846510090078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-32742194190862077622014-07-21T10:06:44.782+01:002014-07-21T10:06:44.782+01:00I have been watching Dawn O'porters TV show &q...I have been watching Dawn O'porters TV show "this old thing" and it's so strange to hear people are afraid of vintage cause of the smell or that people got dirty and sweaty inside it, but I guess if you are a good seller, there is nothing for the buyer to worry about! Most of my things are bought from the "chazza" so definitely they get washed, especially the fabric I pick up from there. They always smell terribly before a good wash! I don't have any of my own tips, but drying things inside out is a must! The hot Aussie sun bleaches everything!

I quoted you TODAY! 'Vix says, if it doesn't make you feel fabulous, it's got to go.' Also last night at a party, people were asking me about you, isn't she glamorous and doesn't she have a wonderful figure?!' See, you're a famous goddess. Love this tip, am definitely go and get some of that. I love a colourful washing line and all your stock looks amazing. I need something by KM soon! You look gorgeous in your ironing outfit, that Mona Lisa top is great.

Such great pieces there. I'm sure giving everything a wash help you guys stand out as sellers of the best quality. I imagine washing the items would certainly make everything smell better, but the garments must inevitably look better too.
