Thats why I stopped using dryers and just hang stuff out to dry. Also saves a lot of energy.
Look at Mx. Privilege over here talking about wide open living spaces.
When I lived in a 42 sqm apartment I just put them in the middle of the one room I had. It did require walking around them all of the time, and an apartment that small became quite humid when hang-drying inside, but I managed to pull it off.
Ah, so you were privileged to live alone without kids who make more laundry and need space to run and play without pulling down the wet laundry. Glad it worked out for you. I'll use the dryer in the building laundry room my rent pays to maintain, thanks
In Ireland and the UK it's very common to hang all laundry to dry, and a utility room is a luxury. We just do a load every couple of days and open windows to deal with the humidity. Kids, apartments, whatever.
You had the kids, you deal with the consequences. Cunt.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Having no kids is not a privilege, anyone can do it if they make the decision before its too late.
Ahh the wonderful unsolicited advice online without knowing my living situation.
you want to help me with my budget too without knowing how much I have too?
what next? you can tell me what meds to take without checking my charts too.
All things I didn't ask you about and seek to solve them on my own PERFECTLY FINE so far and managing it fine without your approval.
Some of us need the dryers for health reasons.
You're as dismissive as people who vilify molehills like the insignificant plastic straws and ignore the people with disabilities and elderly who need them.
Here's some unsolicited advice I feel no remorse in offering: seek help. It's not normal to be commenting in this manner.
Even in a small apartment it's doable, speaking from experience. Just get the kind of rack you can hang over a door or radiator.
It's nice to have a house, eh. Or a balcony. Or both. Or a nearby meadow. Or some electrical wiring attached between apartment buildings.
I dry stuff inside on a rack like this. I've got a yard, but that yard is full of birds who like to sit and shit on my clean clothes.
Sheets and towels go in the dryer though.
Fingers crossed that’s just a stock image because that wardrobe is very depressingly beige.
Yeah everyone has these. It’s the privilege going off in here like sheets just need to be hung somewhere like everyone has a yard. Let alone a balcony or not limited in room.
You can fold them and put them on the wings. One item on each side, plus pillow cases and towels in the middle - this is my setup for washing bedsheets and towels.
Yes, familiar with it and it's fantastic at making sheets moldy, another severe allergy we have in the household.
you just said you hung it in your living space.
Story seems to change in each post you're responding to me on.
I've had zero problems with mold. Maybe you have a poorly ventilated home, might want to check on that.
I do hang them in my living space, on one of those racks. How are those two mutually exclusive? You fold them out and put them on the floor.
That rack is ridiculous, one kid or dog runs by and the entire load is on the floor.
Both can be taught to behave.
Well yardeedard.
But that's good though. Good for the environment and stuff. ✊
My previous apartment has none of those, just a rack in the bedroom and an open window.
Cool that you could fit a rack in your bedroom
If you can fit a bed, you can fit a drying rack. It just makes for a slightly uncomfortable sleeping position.
You mean... put the rack on top of the bed? I don't want a wet bed.
Not for this reason anyway...
towels become so much softer in the dryer though :)
Exactly. I hate that coarse air-dried towel feeling. Like sandpaper.
True. I prefer hard towels, so it's not an issue for me.
