Since getting rid of my dryer and replacing it with a couple <a href="http://www.bestdryingrack.com" rel="nofollow">clothes drying racks</a>, I have found that laundry is almost zen like. I get some exercise and if the sun is sunshining it is the perfect excuse to go outside. I have came to a happy compromise with the laundry in my house.

In short, as laundry became easier, our wardrobes got bigger and our cleanliness standards got stricter. No longer did a thin apron cover Mom's dress in the kitchen; if her clothes got dirty, just toss them in the wash. No longer did kids wear the same clothes two days in a row. No longer did towels get used all week (and daily bathing became the norm).
