So about a month ago we made the long trip out to IKEA to visit their brand new multimillion dollar store near the city of Concord, NC. It's about 40 minutes away from us (30 if I'm driving). A Brazilian friend of ours had visited there a few weeks before us and told my wife about a "drying rack" that she had bought for only $20. She had been using it for a bout a month and was already seeing a small reduction in her monthly energy bill by not using the dryer several times a month. SO, my wife convinced me it was in our best interest to buy it. She could then wash our clothes in the washer, let it spin dry most of the water, and then she could set this contraption up somewhere in the house and let our clothes air dry the rest of the way instead of wasting the energy and money on the electric dryer. So, we bought it. And my wife has been using it for about 3 weeks and I have to say for such a simple item it works pretty well and can hold A LOT of clothes. Our only issue has been our little girl LOVES to run into the room where the clothes are and pull them down. SO, we have decided to wash the clothes before she goes to bed. And hang them while she's sleeping, that way when we all wake up, they're dry.

So do the world and your energy bill a favor, KILL YOUR DRYER!

You can buy one of these racks at IKEA.
