I bought myself a pair of bbq tongs. Dh started to walk off with my "laundry tongs" NNNNNope!!! He wanted to know why they were on top of the dryer. Not his. I have one of those extending Swiffer handles. I use a fluffer to get any extra dog hair or lint from the washer after washing Brutus' bedding. Also helps if I accidently leave a tissue or else in a pocket to wipe out .

haha I use the back scratcher too. Earlier this evening I was wondering if my short daughter had problems reaching the clothes also and was going to tell her the next time I saw her how to use it to get the clothes out. I use it to slide dropped items from under my desk also. I also scratch my dogs back with it, they love it and I don't have to bend over if they are on the floor. I use a long spoon in the kitchen to slide items to the front of the top cabinets so I can reach them.

My dd mil used a bamboo walking cane...I bet from a "carnival" a long time ago....two yrs ago I pulled a muscles in my back and it really hurt to reach into the cave of the dryer...so I too, grabbed my back scratcher...and saluted my dd mil! Btw...still use that claw in the laundry room..sort of spoiled me!
