Stick to normal clothes made from normal fabric, not some artificially engineered fibres.It stretches the fabric out and makes it feel rough.
Practical for whom? For the average selfish human? Do they care about the environment, do they f... .And plus dryers are so much more practical.
What's the rush? Make it a rule to do your laundry in advance. Learn to manage your time. Do several things in parallel. It's not very difficult, believe me.40 minutes and all your clothes is dry.
Winter coats worth their name should be dry cleaned, not washed.You can wash and dry a winter coat in a couple hours.
Use a good water repellent cream (but make sure it's environment friendly). Your shoes will always be dry. (Easier solution - watch your step, avoid stepping into puddles.)And you can dry shoes.
That sort of dry cleaning has nothing to do with the real dry cleaning they do at any respectable dry cleaner's in St Pete. It's like comparing a latex doll to a real woman.Anddd you can use the dryer to do dry cleaning, which is really covenient.
Ever thought of improving your time management skills? A well-organized person seldom finds himself in a hurry. Besides, microwaves are bad for your health.It's like a microwave, you can certainly do with out it but it makes things so much easier when you're in a hurry.
Thanks! I'm pretty sure they do exist in Russia, because they had them at the laundry place. I think they're just not very popular yet.[/quote:zay4o9yk]Wrong. They are no longer popular. People are very environment-concious in Russia - as soon as they realized that dryers were bad for the environment they started saying no to them. From what I've heard some even wanted to persuade the Duma to pass a law banning the import of dryers into Russia (for environmental protection reasons). Besides, many washing machines nowadays have a drying program which is 100% environment friendly and very efficient. No one in their right mind would pay double for a dryer if their washing machine already does it for them.[quote:zay4o9yk]That's interesting. I'll check in the local stores next time I'm out shopping. I suppose they're much less common here than in the West now, but I'd be amazed if you actually couldn't find one.
