I’ve had to do without a dryer recently and I refuse to deal with the laundromat so I’ve been hanging everything inside my apartment. I just hang the wet blouses directly on the hangers and arrange them and…well, they dry straight overnight. So if you’re tight on cash and extra picky about your shirts maybe this is the way to go.
