Throwing a load of freshly washed clothes into your dryer is an extremely handy way to get dry clothing. This method simply involves piling damp, clean clothes inside the drum, closing the door or lid and turning on the dryer to the appropriate setting. Next, go do something else while the machine forces hot air through small holes, drying the clothes evenly as they tumble around. Once the dryer stops, take out the clothes and fold or hang up to prevent wrinkles.
When choosing a dryer, consider how big a machine you want and what price range you can afford. Dryers are sold new or second-hand. -
For the price of a length of line and a couple packages of clothespins, you can air-dry your clothes. This method has good and bad points. Economically, it is perfect. You hang up the clothes on the line, securing with the pins and wait for the sun and wind to dry them. However, if the day is cold, your clothes may take longer to dry. This is also true if the weather is rainy or cloudy.
Cloth or plastic-coated lines and even wire are used to hang clothes on. Just attach both ends to something solid, like poles, trees or even the side of the house, and you are good to go. The clothespins come in plastic or wooden.
A retractable clothesline is another option. You attach the hood where you want it, pull out the lines and attach to a pole. When done using it, just release the lines and they go back into the hood. -
Generally made of wooden or metal, these racks hang from your ceiling. Place your damp clothes on hangers and hang from the racks. This gives you the option of hanging your clothing inside on wet or cold days. The racks stay out of the way because they attach to the ceiling.
If none of these methods is available, hanging clothes over your shower, towel rack or even bathroom door will dry them, although it will take more time.
