I lived in NJ for years with no dryer and hung all my clothes out to dry. If weather was too bad they got hung in the basement. But here in Florida now I use my dryer. I don’t feel guilty about it. 😂 I don’t even do laundry that much, maybe 2-3 loads a month. Years back I read an article saying how most people wash things far too often and all the constant unnecessary washing breaks down the clothes as much as anything. I can’t recall the details but it made sense and my clothes have to be worn quite a few times (except underwear!) before they get washed.

I’ve never used dryer sheets. I have to ignorantly confess that I still don’t really know what dryer sheets are supposed to do or why people use them. For a while I did make my own laundry detergent but I finally decided it was more trouble than it was worth. I finally bought some organic scent-free brand that only takes about 2 tbsp of detergent per load. That was a couple years ago and I’m still on the same bottle! 😂
