i dont own a dryer and have never seen the inside of a laundry mat. all of you should sleep on a air dried sheet just once, and the towels really absorb the water from your body. i wouldnt haveeit any other way. and, oh by the way in the winter sometimes they stay out for days and im not that old just another memory of my mom doing the same thing my 2 children wash their cloths and bring them here to hang them out now they can carry the same memory every time they smell the clothes that were dried outside
