Now I saw it all !!! When I think of "extreme ironing" I think of the people who iron their bed sheets and women who iron their and their husband's underwear.

The maids in Brazil ironed the cloth diapers. And for good reason - the water there is not safe, and so the ironing is part of the cleaning process, to kill the little beasties in the water.

But as to the actual topic, maybe someone should bake donuts while hanging on a cliff side like that, or maybe while up in an ultra-lite.

I used cloth diapers, that weren't prefolded, for my babies and when drying them in the dryer, they became very wrinkly. So I often ironed them before folding them. But The best way to dry cloth diapers was in the sunshine on a breezy day. There was a certain satisfaction neatly folding those fresh air dried diapers.

At that time we lived on the 5th floor of an apartment building, in the Aldeota section of Forteleza, Ceara, Brazil. (The state capitol, and a major city.) This was during Portuguese language school.
