      looks like I have to set the machine to spin the clothes longer now...the sun rays are not long enough to dry the clothes in the early part of the day.

      wonderful rain !

      i rather welcome rainy days, than to smell haze / smoke, from our neighbour

        Do u all need to wash clothes dAily? I need. To keep my laundry manageable per load, got ample space to air dry, hang clothes . If I wash every other day, my drying takes longer time. Sometimes. Monday can have a break if I wash week end clothes on Sunday late afternoon or evening . Then the uniform washing cycle start again on tues. kids have 5 sets of uniform to wear.
        I wash clothes daily...with a weather like this, I guess this is the best option. sun in the morning will dry the clothes...by late noon, the sky turns dark but my clothes are dry. whew!

        son having his poly vacation...so there are not many clothes but it's better to set the machine wash daily than accumulate.
        trying not to use the dryer.

          instead of using bamboo stick hang out under hot sun, or dry spinning to dry clothes faster, any other way ?

            When everyone is at home, I do laundry everyday.


            Last month elder boy and hubby happened to be away on most days, I could manage a smaller load every two days.

              After spin dry, the clothes are not completely dried. Perhaps can iron them?
              I try to choose days to wash esp thick clothes

                With 4 in the family, I do laundry almost daily, about 5 times a week. I separate dark and light items, so I try to alternate the loads. When my kids were wearing uniforms and having PE lessons, I had more laundry (and ironing). It’s got less after they finished JC. Now one is going to be away, so I guess my laundry load will lessen.

                  My laundry is little; I use WM probably twice a week.

                    if the weather at night is not rainy, the clothes are half dry by morning. with scorching heat (no direct morning sun here compared to the prev place), my clothes are usually dry by evening. the dryer is kept inside the bomb shelter as there is simply no space in the service yard for it.


                    the clothes are rather seasoned…so the colours don’t really run. but I still try not to mix black/navy with whites.

                      Today is super warm.

                      What a contrast with the weather during the past few days

                        Clothes all dried. Good to hv fresh, sin dried clothes. I always turn my clothes inside out for sunning to prevent discolorization
