Spring is finally here and I am proud to say that I have survived my first Boston winter. It has been quite the battle against the elements, and while I couldn’t control the weather outside, I did my best to make conditions comfortable inside. As I slept, heaters kept me nice & toasty – However, they also sucked all the moisture out of the air, leaving me to wake up with dry skin & an itchy throat every morning.
Here’s my solution: Hang-dry some of your clothes inside (especially those heavy winter coats), rather than in the dryer.
Benefits to air-drying clothes indoors:
- The air stays nice & moist
- You’ll save money & electricity that you would have needed to run the dryer
– You may not even need to invest in a humidifier
Has drying air-drying my clothes inside simplified my life? Absolutely.
How do you keep comfortable throughout the seasons without spending extra money?
