CJ, when I was growing up, we had a wringer washer and a set of 2 rinse tubs. Mom would put starch in the final rinse water of things that would need to be ironed, then hang them out to dry. The next day we would "sprinkle" the clothes or pillowcases, then iron them. We didn't have spray starch or a steam iron. I have thought that would be a great idea when prewashing yardage!

I think you're right, Mary. I believe it was to keep the clothes from souring......no air conditioning back then. I remember she used a coke bottle (aka, vintage) for her sprinkle bottle that had some kind of metal cap with holes in it for the top.
Boy, I'm feelin' kinda old now. I'll be turning 60 years young in about 3 weeks and it makes me a bit nostalgic.....but, gotta think forward....too many quilts to make!!

We had two "sprinklers". One was made of plastic and looked like a ketchup dispenser, except the business end was flat with holes like a salt shaker. The other was totally "not politically correct" in today's terms. It was a bottle in the shape of a Chinese laundryman with a sprinkler top! Don't know what happened to it!
