[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brit reading this. So do you (Americans) put ALL of your clothes in the dryer? I do have a dryer, and I had one all my life growing up in the UK - not a combo but a separate dryer - and I would still never put lots of things in it. e.g. bras, knitwear, dresses, skirts. I pretty much use it for sheets and towels, underpants, socks, and casual tshirts, etc. Everything else I put on a drying rack in my laundry room. [/quote]

No, we don't put delicates or items that would shrink in the dryer.  I usually hang dry those items on hangers on shower curtain rod.  Sometimes I drape them on a chair.  I've never had or known anyone to have a drying rack but they sound incredibly practical; I think I'll get one.[/quote]

I learned from living in the UK how much damage a dryer does to clothing. It wears them out more quickly. With a drying rack so many clothes can be left to dry naturally, which helps them last. I use my dryer for towels and underwear but otherwise I try to air dry everything else. [/quote]
