Laundry quandry

May 19th, 2006 at 01:38 pm

To rain, or not to rain - that is the question I ask, before I go off to work!

It looks like rain clouds are heading our way from the northwest, so I'll wait to hang out the laundry. If there's no rain when I get back from work, I can hang the clothes, and be here to watch for rain.

I've been doing what a few here are doing with their laundry - spinning it twice in the washer to get more of the moisture out of the clothes. Well, I tried it, and noticed that the clothes didn't really seem more drier. So, the last few times I've watched the 2nd spin cycle, and have seen hardly any water come out into the laundry tub. I wonder if my spin cycle is pretty efficient to start? I feel like I'm just wasting electricity doing the second spin. (I think this really qualifies being under those very, very small things we do in the quest to save money!) Take care!

    I did the same experiment & have passed on the 2nd spin. I don't even have a new washer! I always get the heavy duty sets, so thought maybe that was the difference.

    Let the clothes sit a while before you dry them, add two large towels (dry) to the wet clothes to absorb moisture in the dryer.
