Red Squirrel Aug 2015 12:46pm, 25 Aug 2015 18,810 posts	0 Red Squirrel Yeah it's an option, although a long way to lug heavy wet washing. (I don't have a car.) No space for a tumble dryer in my flat and not worth it for occasional use anyway.
Derby Tup Aug 2015 12:56pm, 25 Aug 2015 17,263 posts	0 Derby Tup Make sure your washing machine is spinning on high Red. It makes a massive difference, especially for jeans, sweatshirts, towels etc. Synthetic programs have short, slow spins to prevent creasing
Red Squirrel Aug 2015 1:49pm, 25 Aug 2015 18,812 posts	0 Red Squirrel Cheers matey - I do. The spin on my machine is not amazing. I knew this when I bought it but liked the other features.
Red Squirrel Aug 2015 2:02pm, 26 Aug 2015 18,819 posts	0 Red Squirrel Bet you're all wondering what other features could be better than a good spinner.

Derby Tup Aug 2015 3:31pm, 26 Aug 2015 17,278 posts	0 Derby Tup We can do a delayed start. It's great to start a wash at say 4 or 5 am so the washing is finished when we get up but it's not been lying in a creased heap all night

'Melvyn' - where you run you fingers through your washing, you think it's damp but you're not sure. It could be dry. You leave out or take in? you've done a Melvyn'.
