$aving Money-Clothes Dryer

Clothes dryers are a necessary evil when you've got kids, especially if you live in the tropics and when you're coming into winter. But with clothes dryers you not only have the initial cost of the machine but the running costs are HUGE! They will send your power bill through the roof!
Solution,

Almost every house has at least 1 ceiling fan,a rack like this only costs about $30 from KMart, you can hang the clothes straight onto the hangers and space them out with the socks that need drying. Open a window in the room if possible, it only takes about 1/2 hour on high for the kids' school polo shirts to dry. It also makes packing the clothes away so easy, just hang them in room order on your rack and they can be put straight into the cupboards. For towels I have one of those railed racks that fit about 10 towels at once, they take longer to dry so leave the fan on them overnight. The cost of running a fan is only about 0.25c per hour, a fraction of the cost of a dryer!
