I simply put damp (because my washing machine does a decent job of spin drying most of the moisture out) clothes onto a drying rack in a room with a partially open window, and they dry within 8 (or so) hours on their own. I don't really understand why people trade a little extra time for the "benefit" of clothes that are dry in one hour because this costs an absolute fortune. IMHO clothes dryers are basically in the same category as tongue cleaning toothbrushes, except far more people are sucked in to believing that they need a clothes dryer than those who have fallen for the clean tongue con. -- Regards, David.
