that works wonders when you live in a hot, dry place. i'm back living in my hometown in northeastern brazil after spending 13 years in southern brazil, which is cold and damp 9 months of the year. since i've arrived i used the dryer only once. but back there it was hard to let them dry out in the air. you either used the dryer or accumulated dirty clothes, up to the point you were left without clean clothes and with a big potential rat nest.
