Drying
Am Mum of 3 so lots of washing - 1 load every day, plus 3 more during week for bedding etc. Do have a tumble drier but try to limit use to 1 load (half contents of washing machine) every 2nd day.Have developed serious routine as big part of day but try to limit environmental impact
If weather at all good - even if cold but windy - washing line. If have outside shed can put a line inside - things do get dry and smell great.
Big things go on hangers and airers in my hot press (with lagged tank) sometimes have to go on radiator next day to ensure really dry. Do put airers in front of fire but usually in day as worried about sparks/fire. Do sometimes do at night if a lot to dry and no, they smell fine.
socks/tights on kitchen radiator and most small things in tumble drier.
Other options - iron when clothes still a bit damp - add drop of lavender oil to water in iron if concerned abot a smokey smell.
On related issue, have stared using JML Pearls to replace washing detergent and can recommend - only €10 in Tescos and work - although need to add a bit of Vanish too for v. dirty clothes but I needed that with detergent as well.
Happy drying, Rosrach
