Laundry Italian style

Doing laundry is different over here. First off the washer and dryers the army supplies take forever... Washing and drying can be a five hour process, and if you live in older housing like me you can only run one, yes ONE appliance at a time.

Front load washers will also ruin anything nice or delicate, even tissue t-shirts so I hand wash those and hang them to dry.

This may sound like a flash back to the 1950's and in a way it is, but since I can't work over here I might as well be a good housewife. Excuse me, I meant home economist.

Buying a laundry rack was only 5 Euro and drys the clothes in an hour instead of 2 plus the condenser dryer takes. Saves money and time.

On a side note I like the idea of a condenser dryer. Instead of needing a vent and the fire hazard that represents, the dryer sucks the water out which you then dump, or reuse to water flowers.
