Towels and bed linen

In about half an hour I’ve got some towels and bed linen coming out of the washing machine..... am I going straight to hell if I stick them in the tumble drier? What with it being 31c and all.

Yep!!! But on the plus side, it will probably be cooler there at the moment0

Plus of not using the drier is I save oh? 6 pence in electric.
If I do use it it the towels come out all fluffy and the sheets smell nice. I don!!!8217;t have to see the stuff draped over clothes horses not to mention wondering where all that condensation is going.0 -

Pop them on the line and give them a freshen up in the tumble if you are delicate and don't like rough towels - ours were like shredded wheat when I got them in :rotfl:Note to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!

You do realise Mr S that is OS heresy . If you have good weather and outside drying hang them out . It freshens them up and i sleep much better with bedding that's been dried in the sunshine .
My old Mum used to say Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves . All these it only costs add up to large costs .

Definitely hang them all out on the line but bring the towels in early and finish them off in the tumble drier0

Don't forget to iron the bed linen as you wouldnt want creases in your freshly laundered linen.......Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0

My bedding dries ultra quickly in this weather. I don't use the tumble drier except for towels - dried naturally they are rough and stiff. Tumble drying makes them soft and fluffy.0

What's wrong with towels like shredded wheat? That's how they should be![SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]
