I don't know if others have this problem, when I hang my white sheets on the line I get little orange brown coloured insect droppings on my sheets . I find it really annoying, I have been thinking about getting a cover to go over the line for some years now ! You cannot rush these things lol ! My Nana gave my two eldest sons some linen when she had a clean out , I noticed a pink shower curtain I thought perfect that will do the job nicely and its free even better ! When you live in the bush you encounter more problems with insects and animals then when living in suburbia ! Obviously they must drop their dropping on my other clothes as well but I've never noticed it . I only notice it on my white sheets and it stands out like dogs "you know whats" ! It rained lightly the other day and it saved my washing getting wet so that was an added bonus ! I'm pretty sure they drop their droppings as they fly over my washing ! So I hope it works, time will tell !
I live in the burbs and get these annoying spots! Does the shower curtain help? I thought it might come from them landing on them....
ReplyDeleteI've often thought it must have been because the insects were attracted to the bright white.
ReplyDeleteI washed all my white sheets yesterday and with the cover not one insect dropping to be seen so I'm very happy that it has worked well :):)
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem in Canberra. It is almost always on my bright whites though the bugs seem partial to my daughters hot pink sheets with little flowers on them. It is not the insects doing a fly over, they are landing on them (I see different insects on them from time to time). If they were flying over they will poo on everything not just the white things. perhaps they don't like the plastic cover over them - whatever works. Have washed my quilt cover 3 times now and each time there is poo!! Very frustrating.
