These days, what with the economy being what it is, all thoughtful people are doing everything they can to cut costs and expenses and to save on their energy bills. I say good for them, and may they keep up the good work; heck, our future and our very planet depend on it.
The question has been making the rounds about whether putting some tennis balls in your dryer helps your loads dry faster and removes static cling from your laundry. I put my trusty dryer and four tennis balls to the acid test.
My situation was that if I put an average load of my clothes in to dry for the usual fifty minutes, the clothes would still be damp after that time, and I would have to dry them for about ten more minutes. I would try to improve on that by loading my four tennis balls with my wash and a prayer to the drying gods, and then letting it run for forty minutes, in hope of saving ten minutes per load. No luck. Still damp. Phooey!
Then I tried forty-five minutes, figuring I might still shave five minutes of electricity per load. This time it worked! Five minutes per load will be a tremendous savings over a year’s time. Just think of the energy savings possible for the whole developed world!
Oh, and about the static cling . . . it works on that too, except for the occasional nylon item.
I am a lecturer & online entrepreneur. I love reading, writing, travel (particularly in Paris, throughout England, Amsterdam), gardening (which mostly amounts to weeding, I’m afraid), karate, Ebay, Internet, Asian philosophies and religions, marketing, and much more.
