I don't own a tumble drier. I usually get my washing out side, even if it's just for a while. It's such a delight to hang all of the laundry outside. We halved our electricity bill, and therefore our consumption, when we ditched the electric drier. I also have just one 'wash day', which is Saturday. I do this as I make sure I have a full coloured load, a full heavy load and a full whites load. I make sure the machine is full, on the coolest wash and I use the least soap possible. I never use conditioner as 'crispy' items such as towels just need a rigorous shake to loosen the pile. I like my clothes to have a starchy feel and I like them to smell of fresh air and not soap. Using the clothes stands, instead of a washing line means I can just lift them up and bring them in if the weather turns. My Saturday nights at home, are in front of a film or programme I've recorded with the ironing board. Seeing my washing outside fills me with joy because the weather is so good, the sun is shining and I don't have it hanging around the living room.
