In fact, I have as yet to discover one that does. It gets pretty hot inside with the dryers running when it's a mere 70 degrees outside. So, I thought I would take advantage of the heat and wash clothes in the bathtub and then hang them out. Good idea. After the first load I changed my mind. Would have been a great idea if I were 20 years younger.Although the whole idea was to avoid cooking myself, I also thought I might do something earth-friendly. It took three full bathtubs of water to do one load (one soap, two rinses). A machine would have been more efficient. But then it would also have used electricity. I'm hoping I reduced some of my carbon footprint by hanging the laundry out to dry. I hung them out around 10:30 a.m. By 2 p.m. they were bone dry (except for the dress). Excellent!
They aren't as soft or smooth as putting them in the dryer with a dryer sheet, but the smell is heaven! Next time (tomorrow?) I'm going to use the machine to wash and then the natural dryer. Care to know how it turns out?
