we all need to use less.

I wash in cold water all the time. I hang all my hanging clothes. The only clothes I am drying are sheets, towels, underware and socks. The best things is my office clothes are not getting wrinkled.

I have all of my tops & pants on hangers now hanging on the doors upstairs drying… also seems to reduce my need to iron.

Another slow laundry thing is soaking. Rather than watching in hot or warm waters with whitener/brightener chemicals, saok in cold with organic laundry soap. I just throw the clothes in at night to soak, then turn the machine on the next day.

I love air-drying, but my husband is strangely opposed to clotheslines … something about them being low-class and “what would the neighbors think” anxiety.

We always line dry in the spring, summer, fall—and hang on racks in the winter. We own an old 20 year old Maytag dryer for emergencies—but we rarely turn it on. We use it to store our recycled TP that we buy in bulk from our coop—we don’t have much storage….

I live in a windy area near a big river. I hang my clothes outside on a long line in the direction of the wind so my clothes dry with no wrinkles.

Air dry all clothes on hangers that will be ironed, use a fold up metal hanger rack that tucks away when not in use – found it at a thrift store. QVC has a similar type rack that is much more stable, but check you local thrift store for a rack first!
