Laundry help D:

Donna beat me to it. I gave up on liquid softener years ago and now just use dryer sheet. no more white splothces.

I don't use fabric softener...so, I don't know anything about that. BUT, I do know if I don't let the washer fill up first, with the dry soap, I can get little specks on my clothes. I do this- dry soap first, fill to nearly the time it starts to agitate, THEN put in the clothes.

Just a shameless plug- but, I am now nearly 90 days into a dryer free life style! (well, while the warm weather is here, anyhow...he he he).

Like Johanna, I don't use dry sheets or softeners (I am allergic to them). I also use liquid laundry soap and that really helps.

Johanna -- welcome to the "green" laundry dryer world I have been doing it for years and just love the smell of clothes dried in the sun.

I really enjoy hanging out my laundry. It feels like a relaxing and timeless task. I have thought about simply hanging the stuff in my basement, as the super big furnace sits a few feet away, and it is prolly the warmest part of my house in the winter. We will see.

[emily_the_spoiled]

I do that in the winter time and everything dries just fine but without the nice smell. The only things I put in the dryer are towels, jeans, and sheets so it really helps on the energy bill (the very practical side of me coming out... )

I hung my clothes, not by choice but by necessity: a broken dryer

Everything ended up "crunchy". How do I avoid that? I would prefer to hang clothes too. I did use liquid fabric softener when I didn't have a dryer, so I don't know what I was doing wrong.

I didn't realize just a little on the ball would leave spots...that could be it...what are these oxyclean things? I may look to see if we sell them here.
