I’ll let the picture speak for itself.

I will say that

  • I’m a little embarrassed to show a picture of my bathroom.
  • By hanging clothes we have saved money and extended the lives of our clothing.
  • I currently don’t hang up socks, children’s clothes or underwear.

We paid a lot more for drying when we had to go to  the laundromat in our last apartment. I wish I had seen this nifty indoor clothesline that Apartment Therapy built.

Hanging my clothes works for me. See what others are saying at We Are That Family’s Work for Me Wednesday.

    I use the wooden drying racks all the time to “finish” drying my towels and socks. I use the dryer for 20-30 min, then let them finish air drying. That keeps them soft, but saves money.

    Oh I love my shower rod also! At night, I hang the items that need to be dried and then close the door.

    The heat coming out of the vent all night leaves them nice and toasty in the morning!

    You’re totally right: it really increases the longevity of clothes. The less clothes are exposed to heat, the longer they’ll last!

    Using drying racks for socks, and probably children’s clothes is a great idea.

    I think the shower is a perfect place to let stuff drip dry, because who cares if it drips! Thanks for sharing this tip.
