My electricity bill has been going through the roof lately. I am trying to get kids to make sure radios, lights and tv are off when they are not in the room.
Cutting down on using the dryer is what I am working on as well-here are some tips on how to reduce drying time.
Place a clean, dry towel in with the wet load. The dry towel will help absorb moisture cutting down the drying time needed by as much as 25%.
Include a few tennis balls in each dryer cycle. The
tennis balls not only cut drying time by 25% - 50%, but also
fluff the clothes to a delicate softness.
For heavy items such as jeans and towels, put them through an additional "spin" cycle after your wash is done. Heavier items retain water even after a regular spin cycle and an additional spin cycle will cut down on their drying time.

GREAT tips, thanks!!
Hi -- love your blog... here's another tip for drying clothes -- line-dry! Due to financial circumstances, I don't even have a dryer, and, while at times it's pretty annoying, it works. We do a load every day, and have a system of hanging things up, and somehow, remarkably, we make it work.
