Maybe if I hang dry my towels, the scratchiness will double as a loofah? :)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609264099969968987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087579596836256941.post-24192712012416565662011-07-18T15:34:38.447-05:002011-07-18T15:34:38.447-05:00Growing up the dryer was only for EMERGENCIES, so ...Growing up the dryer was only for EMERGENCIES, so you could imagine my joy when we moved in 2000 and started using the dryer. My clothes were SMOOTH and SOFT! <br /><br />May I suggest that a reason your clothes take forever is because Kansas is so humid? Move to Austin! :)Rebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13937631373766914483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087579596836256941.post-2492367644256624102011-07-18T07:45:11.906-05:002011-07-18T07:45:11.906-05:00My mom grew up in California where no one used a d...My mom grew up in California where no one used a dryer. Whether you dry inside or out on a line, your clothes will be scratchy, hard, and wrinkly. My mom actually prefers her towels that way after years and years of knowing only that. Here's a tip: use hangers! Our laundry room has always had a place to hang clothes, and I find that they dry faster than on that drying rack thingy. Another tip - wash clothes at night, hang up to dry before bed, and they're usually ready to fold when you get home from work the next day. You just have to be a better planner about making sure you always have something to wear that's clean (and dry). All that being said - we mostly use the dryer (especially when we did cloth diapers - we never had enough room to hang them up, although sunshine is the best disinfectant, I believe). Oh, and I don't think you're allowed to hang clothes outside in Lawrence anyway - it usually goes against some code or something. :)Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05002250597784440336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087579596836256941.post-75319025237575476882011-07-17T23:15:49.003-05:002011-07-17T23:15:49.003-05:00This happened to me when our dryer broke last week...This happened to me when our dryer broke last week. I thought it had to be a sign for us to go green. Fail. Scratchy, hard, wrinkly shirts don't work for me either. Maybe an outdoor clothesline would be better. But then I run the risk of dust, dog hair and bird poop. <br />Let's stick with the dryer. ;)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583421209762277347noreply@blogger.com
