piothes dryers are heavy
I users of electricity, so
Uuse them with caution. Most 1
areas have cheaper rates at off
peak hours, so plan ahead and
do your laundry at night. Use a
dryer when you have a full '
load, and don't overdry your
clothes. Take out shirts and
blouses when still damp but
wrinkles are out. They'll finish
drying on a hanger. Make sure
to remove the lint from the fil
ter every time you use the
dryer If you live where you
can put up a clothesline out
doors, try it Your clothes will
have the most wonderful scent
when dry
