Hanging Clothes To Dry

you can also put tension rods in doorways and hang hangers from them...

just don't over-crowd the clothes so that the air can get all around them... i just picked up another heavy duty rod at st vinny's today for a buck....

For socks and underwear I use a metal hanger with clothes pins to make my own "clips". I have never had a problem with the hangers rusting because they are coated.

I do this for socks and undies and for pants as well. When I want to hang up pants inside I hang them from a metal hanger from the waist with clothespins.

If you have towel rods on the bathroom walls you could drape the socks over those to dry or drape them over the edge of the bathtub.

You can also put shirts on metal hangers, then bend the top to fit over a door. You can hang two shirts on each door to dry. Also hang hangers on doorknobs!

Something that I do is use a small "extra room" as a clotheline. I have a small room that has a twin bed, my freezers, filing cabinet, etc. in it. I bought those hooks that you screw into the wall and put three on each of two walls. Then I strung rope clothesline across the wall to make me three clotheslines. I can hang two full loads of clothes in there to dry at a time!

We bought the Jall dryer from ikea for like 6 dollars, it folds away when your done with it...and we set it up in our shower too, that's how we dry our towels...

Thanks for the idea. I will have to get some wire hangers.

And here I was thinking that I was the only one that hung her clothes from the bathroom shower rod. LOL

My mom used to do it as well.

I live in an apartment and it would cost me $1.75 a load to dry my clothes. There is no way for me to just do a few minutes

in the dryer.
Anyway, I hang my clothes on hangers. I have been collecting them. I save the ones that are plastic and have clips on them. Those work great on bottoms.
