The worst thing about washing clothes by hand is not having a spin-cycle. What I need right now- and I doubt if you can buy them (except in junk shops)- is a mangle.
Riiiight - have you got any of those radiator "rails" (that hang over the radiators) ers, or are you putting the stuff straight onto the radiators? Me, I hate radiators, and deeply resented being forced into a house that had them - but, if you can find rails that fit them, they do dry things fairly well - because you've then got some air circulating - sorry, I haven't the vocab to explain the physics of it, but it's getting the right combination of air and warmth that speeds drying
I'm hanging clothes directly on the radiators. I believe I do have some of those rail things- or did- but heaven only knows where they are right now.
I don't like having to use the radiators, because it means switching on the central heating when it's not really needed. We like to keep the house cool- and find most other people's houses uncomfortably hot and stuffy.
