I purchased a shower rod and placed it alongside the actual shower curtain rod. Every day I hang my damp towels on the rod. They dry nicely, do not interfere with the shower curtain, and are out of sight!

Ignore the idiot that thinks you need a life, they obviously need one as well if they are on this blog, I guess this includes me anyway here is my tip: learned this from my handyman. At the beginning of the cold season, disconnect the exaust tube from your dryer. Place a cheesecloth bag, fine washable bag, etc over the end and hang it near the dryer. This allows the warm air to enter your home instead of going outside. Also, the nice side effect it allows a little moisture into the house during the dry season, hope this helps, we dry in the morning while the kids are getting ready for school and they love the warm spot.

I am a maid and I work in homes of single men who make about 200k a year. They have their sheets dry cleaned twice a week and wash every single thing they wear, even if it's only for an hour. I say wash, but they have all of their clothes except for socks and underwear dry cleaned. The non-recyclicable plastic piles up by the sackful. It's another world.

I read this hint quite awhile ago and have used it ever since. Hang a spring tension shower curtain rod in the middle of your tub area. You can hang your clothing on it and let it dry so you don't have clothing all over your house or apartment. It can hold a lot of clothing. I now have my children hooked on this method.

Enjoy seeing these suggestions. I found that alcohol will remove ink from dry clothes if used before wetting or washing the item. Also perxoide will remove fresh blood or dried blood. Check to make sure the surface or clothing you are applying this to is tested for color fast! I have used this for a long time with great success!

Great ideas keep up the good work.

MPnLizallTheWay - umm if you hate the blog so much, why the heck are you reading it?? Who's the one that really needs to get a life? While I may not use all these tips, I appreciate them being made available to those that would find them useful.
