But I'll keep in mind your hanger tip the next time I wash one of Paul's shirts.

Towels and sheets go outside on fine weekends. Too late home during the week, it would be damp. Have a great hot water cupboard too, to finish things off. Sometimes a clothes rack comes into the lounge with heat pump and HRV going.

Without ply. With those precautions, I never iron either. I use no electricity and no time to ironing. I live in north of France, where it often pours and for that reason, I even have curtain bars where I hang my hangers in the staircase and in the buandery. ( I had a family with 5 children at home.) I always like reading your posts.

I divorced and needed to save every bit of money I could. I just love to hang clothes outdoor to dry. In the winter I hang clothes outdoors unless it is below freezing, raining.

The hot water cylinder does take up a lot of room though, so you've probably gained a big storage cupboard by switching to gas.

I often put jy washing on a little fold away line on my back porch ( there is only hubby and I ) and in the winter months do as you do and finish it off in the hot water cupboard. Every so often say couple of months I pour in some white vinegar and do a full cycle (empty)hot wash to clean ut out. Happy washing/drying!!!!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497576395358341846noreply@blogger.com
