      I wash dds n ds uniform n towel from CC every day too.. bedsheets n home towels will b washed every 2 weeks.. shld b more often.. but how to find space n time to hang? we typically use the rack to hang all the clothes to dry it.. muz find a better way to do it so that i can wash more clothes..


      tis week super no mood to cook dinner.. cham..
      Me too. Son's cc uniform and towels are changed everyday. I am not \"recycling\" them because I have a feeling that they could be left lying on the wet floor or worst, being stepped on. :sick:

      One of the most hardworking/ well used item at home must be the washer! To my washer :udaman:

        Yes.. i agree.. coz the kids will be asked to put their own uniform and towels in the plastic bags.. on rare occasions they even took bak the wrong ones.. so i rather wash it every day.. n their bed sheets for CC too!

        :rotflmao: Yes.. same here.. washer is wrking everyday without fail.. šŸ˜‰

          Thanks for our washers, right? Yes, I think I overwork my washer. Sometimes, I run two rounds - once in the morning and once at night. Cannot imagine life without it.

            I run 2 rounds...morning and night (daily clothes) when I have to wash the quilt cover or curtains.

            Washing machine is the best invention.

                One round of washing to catch the morning sun near my kitchen. Here I have bamboo sticks hung close to ceiling. Another round of washing in the night. For this round, I hang it in my balcony. I use the retracting clothelines in my balcony; the lines stretch from one wall to the other wall. When my drying is done, I retract the clotheslines, and I get back my space in the balcony. I recently installed this retracting clothesline to replace my drying racks. My balcony is much neater now. I like this clotheslines.

                  Eh.. tis doesnt wrk for me.. sobz.. sun is strong in morning.. but that definitely nid some adjustments of the rack for the bamboo liao.. Meaning to say u align the rack parallel to your window frames?

                  Watz tis retracting clothesline? Care to show? I install some retractable aluminium poles.. totally useless.. haiz.. so now like white elephant.. n i nvr dare to leave my clothes outside in the night to dry.. plus balcony is at the main door.. so.. there's mainly shoes n bicycles there..

                    The night wash for daily clothes take up at most 3 bamboos. On days when I need to wash quilt cover, it is just nice bcos there are no big items like towels or bed sheet to block sun. If i wash and hang up quilt cover before 730am, it is perfect shade.

                        I start the machine for daily worn clothes at 9pm.
                        Wash only quilt cover (once or twice a month) or curtains (every 6 months) in the morning. If I do wash in the morn, 630am.
                        Of late, it has been dusty. So I close up windows after 15 min airing.
