Inflatable hangers are great, anything hung on them dries very quickly. I always take 2-3 on trips for in-room laundry. I use the never-iron method for all clothing: put in dryer for 2-3 minutes, take items out one at a time (turn dryer back on as you hang each item so all keep tumbling), hang on hangers to finish drying. Never get "bumps" and never, ever have to iron. That Sheila Maid is fantastic, thanks for the tip.

For hanging clothes outside while having a full time job, I found it easier to wash two-three loads in the evening and hang them early the next morning. On Friday night, while hubby and I watched TV, we washed the clothes and loaded the laundry baskets by flat-folding the wet clothes (don't toss them in in a jumble or they will have a lot of wrinkles), and keep like-kinds of things together. All my undies, all hubbies, all the kitchen towels, etc. They go on the line together and when I take them off the line they all get folded as I take them off and placed in the basket/s. The sorting has already been done so this doesn't take any time at all. Anything that normally gets hung on a hanger is also dried on a hanger, and they are placed on a hook on the back of the door. Sometimes they dry without taking them outside. Hubby built a folding bench and put a patio umbrella over the bench to keep the sun off while folding laundry. After washing the clothes the night before, I hang them the next morning (I normally get up at 3:30 a.m., so anytime after that they got put on the line) and they are dried before lunchtime (sometimes by 9 or 10 a.m.). Then I would do the same thing Saturday night and hang the clothes Sunday morning. Anything that normally hangs on a hanger is also dried on a hanger so they go from the line to the closet. The hangers are placed on the end of my outdoor umbrella clothes line in the loops of clothesline going through it, which keeps them from flying off and to free-up more space on the lines. But the best answer was to put lines up in the basement so now I can do laundry anytime - although we still do laundry in the evening while watching TV - it's a team effort at our house. Hubby and I do two loads of laundry on Tuesday night and hang it up, and take it down Wednesday morning after we work-out in the basement. And again on Saturday morning we do the sheets and bath towels, which dry in the basement by the afternoon. Saturday evening we do two more loads and hang them in the basement and take them down early Sunday morning. The clothes aren't getting sun-bleached all day long and beat to shreds in the wind. It's amazing how much longer our clothes are lasting and looking much better, since we quit hanging them outside three years ago. While still using the outdoor line, I also put two lines up in our garage - between the cars bays - so I could hang clothes there if the weather was ify, and put a large fan on them to aid drying. We have a pull-out accordion drying rack (see link below) in our laundry room. This is where I hang socks and bras to dry (just toss them over the bar), instead of messing with them outside (or in the basement). It's also where I hang wet dish rags/dish towels and wet washcloths/towels to dry after use so they dry completely before I toss them in the laundry basket. -Grainlady Here is a link that might be useful: Accordian Drying Rack

I prefer the dry as doesn't take up so much storage space and dissolves well in the washer, even using cold water. I make up a batch and store it in one of the big, round ice cream buckets and put an old TBSP measuring spoon in with it to measure the amount. Wal Mart in someplaces seem to be keeping all the ingredients now.

because, air flow I share this concern. If you have a dryer, why would you pay for something like this unless you are trying to be efficient with the use of utilities? Yes, being Southern, I like to wear blouse-y, lightweight cotton tops, and the dryer is tough on them. They last longer /look good longer if I hang them on hangers to dry. Personally, I'd prefer a plain, open rod above the washer/dryer. Don't skimp on width so things can spread apart -- and a fan somewhere in the room would be a plus but not a necessity. Such a simple rod, having no moving pieces, would last forever. If you're talking about bras and underwear (which I also like to air dry), I'd get one of these things from Amazon and hang it on the same open rack: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R8D1SBW/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07R8D1SBW&pd_rd_w=jJz1K&pf_rd_p=cbc856ed-1371-4f23-b89d-d3fb30edf66d&pd_rd_wg=I3G8a&pf_rd_r=PECT695RHEDG65WJSTX8&pd_rd_r=4176b760-56b6-4af8-a62a-cdad2b5720e6&smid=AH7VHTT9Z3JGK&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExWDJSQ1BRMlowQVZZJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTQ2ODIwVFNHRTBVRkFRQUhGJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTEwMjc1NTIxMjlKSTdLRzcyMllSJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
