Having laundry done in Ghana is a perk - cleaned and pressed. The soaps are strong (perhaps too much so for those having sensitive skin). With the constant accumulation of dirt and dust, we marvel at seeing all the stark white shirts, dresses and uniforms.
Ironing is a "must" and actually for a very good reason other than to obliterate wrinkles. When clothes and linens are dried on a line, the tumbu fly may come along and lay eggs in the material. If the items are not ironed, these eggs can be embedded into the surface of a person's skin and can later result in the development of an infestation of worms - definitely a situation to be avoided. Everything is ironed!
