Clothes Drying Racks Can Bring Happiness

I hate ironing I feel so brain dead - like a robot. I know it has to be done or I will be faced with a humungous pile growing daily. On the other hand since I switched to using a clothes airer drying system I feel more in control.

When I used a tumble dryer first if all it was really expensive. Secondly the clothes were all completely bone dry. Tumble dryers even the sensor models only 'sense' when the last item is dry, so all the rest is baked! When I place a washing load on the clothes drying rack, I can easily check for dried items ready for ironing.

So instead of having a new batch of dried clothes, which are often difficult to iron, I can have damp or slightly damp, it's really up to me. Clothes airers give me independence in so many ways. Ideal for the elderly and disabled. An easy drying system ready at all times. For those who shiver at the prospect of long dark nights in severe frost, no need to worry! You are completely independent with a clothes airer. The disabled wheelchair user can hang clothes and household items without relying on good weather. An airer can take more than a full load of washing. If you add a fully retractable multi way washing line several loads can be hung at the same time.

The floor standing airer is the nearest to the old clotheshorse. Completely portable to be used inside or outdoors. It carries the largest loads and is available in mini sizes. The portable airer can also be used in the bath (without the water!)

Keeping up a supply of home laundry is a constant chore but when you switch into a natural clothes drying cycle it seems more relaxed, more natural.

You will be surprised how few emergencies you have where clothes need to be dried quickly.

Better quality airers come with a three-year guarantee. Very popular with sports energy mad camping families. Happy heavy-duty use indeed.

Review of CHI Hair Dryers

Sometimes using a flat iron hair straightener is only half the battle; before starting the hair straightening process, hair needs to be clean, dry, and detangled. CHI flatirons are quality hair appliances and it is no surprise that CHI blow dryers also work well; however, they come with a high price tag.

CHI blow dryers are a top choice for stylists and consumers alike because they are ionic hair dryers. This means that the positive ions that are contained in wet hair are equalized due to the negative ions that the blow dryer produces. This causes the hair to be shiny and smooth as opposed to frizzy. Ionic hair dryers are a definite step up from regular hair dryers in terms of special features and technology, but they are also more expensive.

CHI manufactures several styles of hair dryers. The hair drying appliance with the highest wattage and the highest price tag is the CHI Rocket. The Rocket operates at 1800 watts, but thanks to a quiet motor, it does not make the amount of noise you might expect from an appliance that powerful. Instead of a metal heating element, the Rocket has a ceramic heating element, which safely dries hair. The CHI Rocket protects hair from static electricity by having low EMF, of electromagnetic frequency. The CHI Rocket will set a consumer back at least $100.

Another high-end CHI blow dryer is the CHI Nano. This dryer is called the Nano because it features CHI's special Nano Silver technology, which was created to decrease the amount of bacteria found on hair appliances. This technology is used on the Nano blow dryer's handle, making hair styling a less germy affair. The Nano operates at 1400 watts and has dual vents, which allow the Nano to bring in twice as much air as a single-vent hair dryer. This feature helps to cut down on drying times.

CHI also produces two 1300-wat blow dryers. The CHI Pro and CHI Turbo blow dryer have ceramic heating elements, like the Rocket. Both are sold with a diffuser, and the Pro also includes a concentrator attachment.

A pink CHI blow dryer is a popular choice for women; however, they are sold as limited edition products and are therefore not always available for purchase.

Post-It Style Parenting

I love 3M's Post-It Notes, and keep a stack of colorful pads always near at hand. They're good for flagging edits on a manuscript, for communicating with others in my home when we're busy living separately during the day, or for jotting down phone numbers, grocery lists, and sudden bursts of inspiration for story-writing. But the best use I ever found for them was when my son was in elementary school. I discovered they were great parenting tools.

It was driving me crazy that the sink in the bathroom always looked atrocious every time I walked in there. It looked great every time I stepped out of the washroom, but rarely did it look so pristine on entering. There was usually some crusty feeling stuff on the taps and not only did the grunge drive me crazy, but having to remind my son about it time and time again, nearly drove me insane. I'd wash the crust off, rewash my hands, then turn to dry my hands on a towel, only to find the towel marred with whatever my son had supposedly washed off his hands earlier.

It was frustrating and annoying. No matter how many times I told him to clean the taps off and use towels for drying his hands, not for wiping dirt on them, the bathroom was still like that several times a day. I told him he'd lose a day on the computer every time I found it like that. It didn't work. He lost the computer for a week and nothing changed, and even when he was off the computer, it was still like that. He was getting used to hearing his name pronounced in a way only an irate mother can pronounce her child's name (we're quite skilled at drawing out the syllables for effectiveness).

Or he'd be playing online or off, and as soon as he heard the tone of his name in that way, he'd say, "Oh, sorry, sorry," rush to take care of it and get back to playing with his toys, or hop back on the computer chair and tap away at the keyboard.

Since the computer was his favorite "toy," I set up a schedule of times he was allowed to be on it, and would take away privileges a half hour at a time. That didn't work. He was fine with losing his comp time because he'd simply go draw pictures or play with his toys. Still the grungy bathroom problem continued.

I was getting sick and tired of being upset with him over such a trivial thing, yet I hated that it seemed my hands got messier trying to clean them, than they had been before I started!

Finally, I grabbed a brightly colored Post-It, and wrote on it, "Ha Ha! I am dirt and grime and I don't want you to play on the computer! I play dirty! Ha ha ha ha!" I added a little picture of a grime spot with a mean smile. I stuck that one on the mirror in front of the tap. I took another Post-It of a different color and wrote "I am NOT a back-up washcloth! I'm a towel. Please use me to dry clean hands. Don't clean them on me! I drew a little crying towel.

It was working! No more grime, no more leftovers on the towel . . . but the other towel was then being used for cleaning. I stuck up another note and wrote "I'm a towel too! Please no dirt and grime!" I drew a trembling towel with a grime monster about to devour him.

After that day, the bathroom was always nice and clean and the towels lasted on the rack more than half a day, and I didn't have to say a word.

Neither of us mentioned the notes until about a week later when I put a little reminder note up for myself in the kitchen (which I do frequently) and he said, "You're sure into notes these days huh? Like in the bathroom?"

"Yes," I replied. "I saw those, too. But I'm not a towel, and I'm not dirt and grime, so please don't think they're from me." He laughed, gave me a hug and said "You're such a cool mom." I took the compliment for the rare wonder it was, and we never brought the notes up again.

For a few years more, the Post-Its Patrol kept our home in tip-top shape: over a coat rack, "Please may I hold your coat for you?"; above the laundry hamper, "I'm not full yet, more clothes please!" The notes were all over the house until my son was able to remember certain chores and responsibilities without reminders. Even his cousins and friends abided by the Post-It Patrol's rules. Best of all, I didn't have to nag my son for those things to get done.

Now that my son is a teenager, the notes are gone and the walls around here are a lot less colorful, but it's a fair trade for raising my son in a home where yelling is rare, arguments are discussed in respectful tones and chores are actually done. I don't know if I could have managed it without a little help from my Post-Its.

Wall Mounted Drying Rack - Top 5 Reasons Drying Racks Save You Money

By attaching to the wall the modern wall mounted drying racks are much more practical than the old style drying racks which were difficult to store and broke and bent easily. Good quality wall drying racks are made from hard wearing, durable material, preferably metal to last a long time.

They are stylish and there are many types and colours to match different homes.

The best thing about wall mounted styles of drying racks is that they will save you lots and lots of money. Here's why:

1 Electricity. Many people do not realise just what a huge amount of electricity the electric drier uses. It is the most expensive electric item in the home. When you consider how often you dry your clothes, you are wasting lots and lots of money on the electric drier. A wall drying rack does a better job and costs nothing on the electricity bill.

2 Drying racks are a fabulous way to keep your clothes in great condition for longer. Electric driers are very harmful to fabric and clothes quickly become ruined. When you switch to a wall or ceiling drying rack you'll love the difference it makes to your clothing bill.

3 Another way the clothesline or drying rack is good for clothes is that by drying indoors you won't expose your clothes to damaging UV rays while they dry so the colour will last longer too.

4 By hanging your washing on a wall mounted style of drying rack you allow creases to drop out of many fabrics as they dry. This means that you won't have to iron as much, so you save even more money on your electricity bill.

5 Air conditioning units have to work overtime when the electric drier is being used. This means that as well as all the money being spent on the drier, the air conditioner racks up the digits on the electricity bill too. By using a clothes airers, clotheslines or drying racks you won't cause the air conditioning unit to struggle.

So there you have it 5 ways a wall mounted drying rack will save you money and keep your clothes in great condition.

Stop Static Electricity

Static electricity is annoying and so hard to get rid of out of your clothes. Lucky for you there are ways you can prevent and eliminate static electricity. Here's how! Winter time can make you feel like a giant ball of static electricity. Clothes made with nylon become charged, causing skirts and blouses to twist and ride up. Whenever you take off your coat you can feel the static electricity prick and hear the static crackle. One of the easiest ways to prevent static to is to not completely dry your clothes. Dry them partially and then let them line dry. If you don't have a clothesline you can invest in a drying rack or use hangers to hang up your clothes. You can also take control of static by drying synthetic and cotton fabrics separately. With synthetic fabrics you might want to consider not using the dryer at all; if you let your synthetic clothes air dry you'll greatly reduce, if not completely eliminate, static electricity. Another technique to consider is using vinegar in your wash cycles. I know—kind of gross. Vinegar acts as a natural fabric softener and can also help ward off static. However this alternative is a bit smelly and if you use it with bleach, you run the risk of inhaling toxic fumes so, use your noggin when using vinegar, OK? By following these simple tips—not drying your clothes all the way, separating your cotton and synthetic fabrics, and even using smelly vinegar—you can make winter much less crackly. Be more aware of how you dry your clothes ...
