Fun way to dry your clothes when it rains
All you need is a ceiling fan, and you're ready for a show and a practical solution to drying your clothes.
With the weather warnings circulating in KwaZulu-Natal, many KZN'ers are uneasy. This is not unusual, considering the damaging rainfall and flooding we have experienced.
On the lighter side of the weather warnings are those who still complain about a common household problem—the rise of the laundry basket. This is a common issue for households collecting their weekly laundry. While this may be a good practice in saving water and electricity, it's not great when it rains on your laundry day.
Not everyone is concerned about their laundry when it rains, as heaters, laundry racks, and washing lines erected indoors or under shelters serve as alternatives. But there are some who have to get creative.
Many people do what they must to dry their clothes during the rainy weather. Some hang their clothes in their bathrooms, others leave them in the bucket and wait it out, and we have even seen some use their furniture as drying racks.
We found a social media video showing an innovative approach to drying your clothes. It might not be the safest thing to do, but it does show their inventiveness.
Watch the video from Instagram below.
Some social media users found the idea helpful, but others hesitated, saying this would damage the fan.
- "RIP fan motor."
- "This is brilliant."
- "Hear me out, dryer."
- "Don't try this at home."
- "Gonna burn the motor out in y’all’s fans."
- "Someone's going to need a new fan when the old one gets tired of you."
- "Now, when the whole ceiling fan comes down."
- "1 load of laundry is gonna take 8 years."
- "But at what cost? The sacrifice of your ceiling fan, that's what."
