I have long hair and I am growing older. I need help keeping my hair silky.

I am a firm believer in getting enough sleep at night.  Lack of sleep can have a negative effect on the body in lots of ways.

interesting things to try!

it is cheaper to take your laundry to the outside dryer than see your bills continue to mount!

posted on 4/27/2010 9:37:26 PM

I am doing this RIGHT now. :) the other thing I do is to use a damp hand towel in the dryer when I have something that I didn't take out right away and it gets wrinkled. :)

Afraid of the lint

posted on 1/15/2010 10:46:05 PM

I've done this too and works excellent on jeans.  I don't think I would do it with dark clothing, especially on black colors.  I forgot about it once and had left one in the dryer.  Bad mistake as it left pill effects on my black shirts and they never looked nice again.  Just be cautious on fabrics you use it on and colors such as darker colors.   I would definitely recommend it for blue jeans though as they take "Forever" to dry and it helps soften them up...and who doesn't love a pair of unstiff jeans!

this is a great idea! as our electric bill more than doubles in the winter time I will be trying this for sure and after reading all your great comments expect great results!!

posted on 1/12/2010 5:31:05 PM

What a great idea!  I tried it and it worked beautifully ... and just think of the energy savings.  Less time drying means less energy used and lower electric bills.

I have laundry to do today and will try this.  Thanks!

posted on 1/6/2010 9:07:29 AM

I have done this for years!  It helped with the drying time when doing ldry at a laundrymat and have done it for the past 30+ years in my home dryers.  Never really had a problem with lint.

I've done this for the past year!!  It really does work!!!  Great for when your in a hurry and your clothes aren't ready for goin out n about, too!!!  This trick has saved my kids from being late several times!!

posted on 1/5/2010 5:25:13 PM

I am going to try this.  If it works it will be great.

I'm drying a load now. I am going to try this! Thank you!

Thanks for the tip - I will definitely try that tonight!

Boy i wish i would have known about this eariler my dryer had gotten to the point where it didnt dry that well anyway that would have been a life saver.I will remember that for next time though thanks.

posted on 12/26/2009 11:15:02 PM

I tried this and it works great!  I was in doubt but will continue to use a dry towel in all my laundry I put in the dryer because it seemed to dry in about 2/3 the time it would normally take.  Thanks for the tip!

posted on 12/24/2009 11:32:16 AM

Sounds like a great green tip to me!  Worth trying--thanks!

posted on 12/22/2009 6:37:52 PM

Thanks for the great tip, I'll try this the next time I do laundry.

posted on 12/19/2009 7:41:51 PM

Sounds like a great idea, Definitely worth the try

posted on 12/15/2009 7:35:36 PM

This sounds like a neat idea. I will have to try this.

posted on 12/15/2009 3:35:12 PM

I have always put a towel in the dryer when I have needed to dry "just a shirt", so it wouldn't bunch up in a ball.  I am going to try this in my full loads.  We are always needing clothes to dry faster!

posted on 12/15/2009 1:52:55 PM

I think that's a wonderful idea.  My clothes take so long to dry now that it's so cold out.  Thanks

posted on 12/10/2009 10:10:49 PM

I am TOTALLY going to try this!!!!!

posted on 12/10/2009 6:39:44 AM

Love this idea, I've been using tennis balls too. They work. Might try both!

Very cool idea!

im trying this thank you

posted on 12/5/2009 2:00:24 AM

I will have to try that when I do laundry again.. My clothes seem to take forever to dry..

posted on 12/4/2009 11:07:59 AM

I have tried that B4, but the towel leaves lint on my "clean" clothes.

posted on 12/4/2009 8:26:36 AM

awesome.mary queen

posted on 12/4/2009 1:48:17 AM

This does work, and especially well when in a pinch waiting on that ONE pair of jeans or favorite shirt to dry so you can get out the door! (example my 3 teenage daughters getting ready on the weekends [my poor son])

posted on 12/2/2009 11:58:09 AM

yay,  cant wait to try this

posted on 12/1/2009 7:19:11 PM

I'm so excited to try this out!  Thanks for the tip. :)

posted on 12/1/2009 2:29:16 PM

I think this would cause lint to get ono your clothes and not last as long

Always looking for money saving and tips to cut some household chores in half, especially with a large family. Thanks for this tip.

wow, great idea!!!

posted on 11/25/2009 6:52:33 PM

i tried the bath towel method and it really works i was able to dry 2 loads in a hour especially the jeans! thanks!

posted on 11/25/2009 2:08:47 AM

I have laundry in the washer now so I am going to try this in about 10 minutes.  Hope it works cause my dryer squeeks and the sooner it shuts off the better.

posted on 11/24/2009 11:44:23 PM

I would never had thought of this. I tried it and it really worked. Thank you very much.

posted on 11/24/2009 10:05:24 PM

Thanks for the tip, I will try this also.

posted on 11/24/2009 6:30:29 PM

   Yes this does work I do it all the time and it does save money

posted on 11/24/2009 6:19:04 PM

Thanks for the tip. I am going to try it this weekend.

posted on 11/24/2009 4:27:49 PM

Does it matter what size the towel is?

posted on 11/24/2009 12:50:57 PM

I'm going to have to try this!  Thank you.

Have to try it !!!

posted on 11/23/2009 8:13:32 PM

I think about the lint when I am about to do it and make sure that it is not going to be noticible.  It works great when you are in a hurry!  I think denim is an excellent fabric to use a dry towel in the dryer!

posted on 11/23/2009 2:00:12 PM

Im going to try this!! I always have a problem with drying my clothes!! Deborah 11/23/09

posted on 11/23/2009 12:08:43 PM

Sounds like a good idea i will try it and let you know how it works.  I will probably use a beach towel they seem to have less lint.

posted on 11/22/2009 8:20:39 PM

Sounds Like a great idea. I will try and post how it worked out.

posted on 11/22/2009 8:19:42 PM

Very interesting tip, thanks! I will definitely have to try this one. I am always trying to save on the electric bill, but my boyfriend tends to leave his clothes in the dryer then go back and run it again to get the wrinkles out. I'm working on stopping that! :)

posted on 11/22/2009 9:13:43 AM

MaryJane: The dryer doesn't know what it is drying, so it should work not matter what is in the load with the dry towel. Julie: I hadn't thought of pilling! Maybe this is why some clothes do this more or faster. Jennifer: It would depend on how linty your towels are. I like Paula's idea of having designated towels for certain loads.Sue: STOP YELLING! We heard you the first time. :) LOL!! (Please know that I am just kidding with you. I have also accidently double posted before not realizing it posted the first time.)

Tennis ball.  OMG!  WONDERFUL tip--I tried it today and my clothes are dry in half the time that they usually take!  We have been trying to cut down on our electric bill, so I will try the dry towel also.  Thanks!

posted on 11/21/2009 7:04:06 PM

Wow what a cool idea... Ill give it a try!

posted on 11/21/2009 2:49:56 PM

PUT IN TENNIS BALLS.  THEY WORK GREAT AND DRY YOUR CLOTHES QUICKLY

posted on 11/21/2009 1:38:39 PM

Putting tennis balls in the dryer also help speed the drying of heavy things such as towels and sheets.  Put in about three and it works great!

posted on 11/21/2009 1:37:08 PM

I have been doing this for years.  I have a few designated towels just for this!  White for whites and a dark for darks.  However, just be careful when you do this, there are certain clothes like sweaters that I do not throw a towel in with.   It does work quite well!

posted on 11/20/2009 9:47:53 PM

If anyone has tried to dried their clothes with a dried towel in the dryer, please let me know the outcome.  I am a bot concern of the lint that the towel would leave on my clothes.  Comment back = )

posted on 11/20/2009 9:37:39 PM

It works! I learned it from my Mom and do it all the time!

posted on 11/20/2009 6:49:09 PM

What a great idea!!!

posted on 11/20/2009 4:29:56 PM

I agree that this does sound like a great idea; however, I've been told since I was small and I passed along to my daughters that you should dry towels separately, as the terrycloth 'rubs' the clothes and causes the fabric to pill more quickly.

posted on 11/20/2009 3:40:41 PM

This sounds like a good thing to try..I'm all about being green and saving money

posted on 11/20/2009 3:31:32 PM

Can you put a dry towel in with the wet towels you just washed? Does it work the same? 

posted on 11/20/2009 1:56:59 PM

Seems like a good idea..my only concern would be the lint that the towel would leave on all the other clothes......its worth a try though.Thanks.
