Uses for water from tumble dryer.

Options
My condenser TD has a drawer that collects water (5KG of it!) that needs to be emptied.
Apart from watering plants (I don't have any, I kill them all :D), what else can I use this water for?

Living in an area where water bills are VERY high, I hate to see 5KG of water go down the drain every week...any ideas what I could do with it?

    Tip it down the bog instead of flushing?
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?

    you can also use it in your iron and in your car.

    It is apparently distilled water but apart from watering plants this is the only uses I know of

    Flush the toilet - I know it's STILL going 'down the drain' but at least it'll be fulfilling another 'function' without adding to your water bill :D.

    - oops, looks like I cross posted with the two previous posters :D.

    My new steam cleaner needs distilled water, so I use it in this.

    I don't iron :D That's a swear word in my house ;)

    Flushing the loo with it may be a good idea, thanks :)

    the cost of using the tumble dryer would be considerably more expensive than 5 litres of tap water ( about 1 pence)
