    This helps a lot. Just got my first apartment where I’m living by myself, and I’m doing EVERYTHING to save on the utility bill, but I never really concentrated on things like air drying clothes. When I lived with my family or roommates, air drying clothes was considered rude or inefficient because it meant hanging my stuff in the common area, so I used the dryer-even though I’d argue it’s even more annoying that the bargain brand dryer took at least 3 cycles to dry a load of clothes 🤷.

    Great tips thanks for the upload. Something that has been a game changer for me was setting up separate baskets for each member of the family. I don't have a huge space so I set up a bookshelf in my laundry and I have a basket for my daughter and I plus another basket for socks/undies/delicates and soaking. Washing per basket means there is no sorting and we roll our socks up as we place them in the basket so no lost socks. Not only does it save time on sorting when hanging but it saves time when putting items away.

I have many items of clothing that I just hang up in my closet to dry that don't need to be on the rack. In the rare times when I have lots of items to wash (towels, rugs, etc.), I wash them in my machine then take them to the laundromat (total cost of $3) to dry. I figure that I am saving lots of electricity each year from not using the dryer. I am going to look into the over the door drying rack.

There’s no point on getting it if it can damage the ONLY PLACE me and tons of fellow humans have to live! Those who have the opportunity to learn stuff and don’t think about the environment are not even selfish: they’re overall dumb!

    If you have the space and resources to invest and install a second drying rack, then this can make a big difference.
    Clothes will dry a lot quicker, if they have enough free space around them - the fully packed rack in the video is likely to take longer, overall.
    Also, the location of the drying rack can be important (next to an open window is good).
    It also can be worth to turn the rack or the clothes on it after about three hours. It's a bit like that it is possible to grill a burger fully by just leaving it on one side, for long enough, but it will be cooked through quicker if turned.

      Thanks for the idea! I'll add it to my list. In the meantime, I recommend drying your clothes flat. You can lay them across multiple rungs on a drying rack. If they are too delicate and fall through, lay a clean towel across the rungs first, and then lay your clothes on top. I also recommend NOT storing your knits or clothes that can stretch out on hangers. I store my knit sweaters and t-shirts folded in drawers/shelves only. Hope this helps!

    Love this find! How do you manage drying towels and sheets. My Towels tend to get stiff if not dried in the dryer. What can I do to fix this? Also I like the idea of a shoeless home. How do you help people understand this without coming across as rude or picky?

    • @missmethodical
      @missmethodical  Před 3 lety +3

      Hello 👋🏻 Sheets and towels are actually one of the few items I will use the dryer for, especially if they are very large. I will usually still hang dry my smaller towels and cloth napkins. I don't have issues with them drying rough or crinkly, but one cause for this is using too much detergent (regardless of dry method). I would try to use less or try giving your towels an extra rinse. You could also try rinsing with a little bit of vinegar or use fabric softener. I hope they dry softer after trying these techniques!
      Honestly, most, if not all, of my peers do not wear shoes in their homes either. It might feel rude or picky, but the way I see it: my house, my rules. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I already ask visitors to deal with all sorts of "uncommon" lifestyle choices for the sake of zero-waste, such as using a compost bin, recycling snack bags, trying a bidet, using Bee's Wrap, etc. 😅 I personally don't feel like I'm asking too much when it comes to simply removing shoes. It seems you understand this: All sorts of stuff can be tracked indoors (including literal feces)- it's gross! I think if you want to appear more accommodating, start by offering hospitality and then follow up with the ask to remove shoes.
      "I'm so glad you made it and I'm so excited to hang out. In case you need it, our wi-fi password is written on the fridge. I'll go get you something to drink while you put your stuff down, and if it's alright, could I trouble you to leave your shoes by the door?"
      You could also try providing socks or slippers. Dealing with people can be tough! I hope this helps.

    • @missmethodical
      @missmethodical  Před 3 lety

      Hello 👋🏻 For terry or woven fabrics (cotton poplin/silk/synthetic), you can try drying them right on a hanger. I've hung mine all over the place (my drying rack, doors, the shower curtain rod) - just leave some room between your pieces so they can air out! The nice thing about this is you can put it away right after and it usually doesn't need any ironing because it should have dried in the desired shape. I would avoid using this method with knits (think sweaters) or you may they may dry stretched and pulled out. As of your home temperature, I honestly would not worry too much about it, as any typical room temperature will probably work just fine. I would just avoid drying your clothes near a steamy bathroom or sources of humidity, and the kitchen while cooking very savory/pungent foods. I hope this helps and thanks so much for stopping by!

      Agreed with the use of white vinegar. Can also be used in a spray bottle while line drying in the bathtub. Disinfects and deoderizes and I believe softens up the clothes for a faster dry...purchased a Ninja Spin Dryer about two weeks ago. Took me an unexpected frustrating week to get the knack of it. If unbalanced a violent rocking. The first minute or two is telling. Learning to get better at loading and if needed redustributing the balance if needed. Like it's nearly identical other company 'twin'(the Panda has been known to last for many 10-12years). 3200 rpm. Very powerful. 320Watts. Takes three minutes to extract once it takes to running smoothly. A container with a five inch lip recommended. I ended up a yogurt container inside a chicken feed pan and suprisingly this is needed with dish or bath towels. Just that small time frame and the towels or clothes are amazingly nearly dry. Talk about speeding up the hang dry time! Does not do blankets in my home that are full-queen size comforters. Yes to a microblanket, and lapsize blankets...equally awesome on my elasticized athletic shorts and leggings and thick winter socks. I realize with my single person handwashing in the tub and line drying, with just my clothes I probably could have gone with the smaller spinner? Cute the wringing and dry times from about one to two days down to about less than a day and completely dry overnight. I like to keep up with a daily check of washing clothes and not piling up for the week. My laundry days are not about every three days average. Am fortunate to have a high sunny bathroom window. But the apt bathroom vents since I moved in several years ago, lights on or not, has an automatic moisture sensor I am not allowed to touch(went through several rounds with staff) but handwashing then line drying that sensor tends to go constantly. Portable fans in the summers with 60W being the highest choice I can deal with on my utility bills. Bur needing the hvac and portable heating fans 750W-1500W in the winter takes longer hours to dry. The spinner took me a bit to get over the frustration and now it is getting easier to operate but I am glad I hung onto it! Load in, layer donut style the clothes, clothes lid-turn easy latch and rebalance if needed about no more than ten minutes. Maybe a few smaller loads? But let spin 3-5minutes and that takes about a day or two off from either winter or summer line drying. Am running already the bathroom vent much less as it stops when no more moisture in the clothes and much less on portable fans(soon same for winter portable heaters). Definitely no more worries on mold-mildew issues which signed lease states I need to be on top of. Hope this info helps. Am a granny now. Do not mind too much to bathtub wash clothing but wringing and long dry times I am relieved to let go! The larger blankets I take to the laundrymat and can throw on a three stepladder that barely fits inside my tub. Gets the job done.

    3:12 my only advice over this would be to wash stuff you use the whole day every day (ex: if you spend the whole day outside, I think it is pretty sanitary to wash it, even though you just use it once… But if you went out for the movies in your own car, and then come back to home, I think it’s fine to use it a little bit more)! Also: if you went to a doctor appointment (doesn’t matter for what kind of physician u went to), I HIGHLY recommend to straight up wash everything you used! Specially talking about this medical field, u never know what kind of stuff your healthy self will find in there and bring to your “healthy house”!

    I have been air drying ALL my clothes for over 30 years. It makes socks and underwear (elastic containing) last forever. I still have socks from 1986 and the elastic is intact. It also extends the life of shirts, slacks and shorts. We dry towels, dog bedding and throw rugs outdoors on the line weather permitting, otherwise in the dryer. Longer lasting clothes and a much reduced electric bill.

    I have a question. I always dry my shirts/ sweaters and jeans by air drying them on clothes line and usually never have issues. However, with some T-shirts, I’ve noticed that the clothes line will leave a line-crease in my more delicate shirts. What I’m wondering is if a clothes rack like the one in the video will cause this same issue?

      Hi Trevor - My large towels are actually one of the few pieces I will use the dryer for. Sometimes I will still hang dry my smaller towels. I don't have issues with them drying rough or crinkly, but one cause for this is using too much detergent. I would try to use less, or if it's too late, try giving your towels an extra rinse. You could also try rinsing with a little bit of vinegar or use fabric softener. I hope they dry softer after trying these techniques! Thanks for stopping by my channel :)

    • @missmethodical
      @missmethodical  Před 3 lety

      I think you're referring to the small white hanger visible at 3:10. If so, I believe I found that one at a TJ Maxx or Nordstrom Rack. It's actually just a flat hanger with several rungs arranged in a cascading V pattern, and it's designed for accessories, belts, ties, and scarves. I can't seem to figure out the exact item name, but if you search for an accessory hanger online, it should yield similar products. If you're referring to either of my foldable white drying racks, you can find links in the description. Let me know if you meant something else and I will try to clarify for you!

      Hi Corey - I think the key here is going to be increasing fabric to air surface area. I would try to hang them in a way that achieves this so they dry as quickly as possible without wrinkles. You could try using a shower curtain rod or 'tenting' your sheets by draping them over an arrangement of tall chairs. Hope that helps! Thanks for stopping by

    • @missmethodical

      Hi Nathan - not so much a dumb question as it is difficult to answer, as dry time is going to depend on several factors like air flow, room temperature, humidity, and especially fabric. It can definitely feel inconvenient to have to wait for your clothes to dry. Personally, I find that planning for 24 hours for most items is enough, with 36-48 hours for thicker fabrics. Hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by my channel

    Do you have a tip for the collars of the shirts? When they come out of the washer, some look stretched out?

    • @missmethodical
      @missmethodical  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Mayra 👋🏻 Yes, I do have some tips. Before you wash collared shirts (and really any item), if they have any buttons or zippers, be sure to close them all up. This will keep your clothes more structured as they are tumbling around in the wash and will be less likely to stretch out. Also, you may want to consider putting them inside a mesh laundry bag. This will prevent certain items from snagging on other items while being washed, also reducing the chance they stretch out.
      After washing: Since collared shirts are typically not knits (they are usually made from synthetics, cotton poplin, silk, or a blend, etc.), they are typically safe to hang dry directly on a clothes hanger. I recommend putting your tops, while they are still damp, on a hanger and then fixing the collars so they will dry correctly in that same position. I like to use flat, felt hangers because it gives me something to press the fabric against. If they still look funny after drying, I recommend going over the collar with a steamer. I don't own nor use an iron, but that's an option as well.
      I hope these tips help you out! Thanks so much for stopping by my channel

    Just use hangers to dry shirts and pants and hang them from a regular clothing rack. Socks and underwear are a pain so you'll need one of those drying racks like the one she has in the video. Also buy a duhimidifier to remove humidity from the air ($150) and place a large fan so that it is blowing on your clothes. If you really want to dry everthing quickly put a small space heater behind the fan so the heated air helps the clothes dry faster. Or you could just buy a laundry spinner and a small dryer. 🙃
