Rid Your Dryer of Inefficient Lint!

For many, emptying your home dryer's lint filter is second nature and done every time a new load enters. But earlier this month, I was astonished to find out that more than 1/3 of households don't empty their dryers' lint traps, which not only is costing them more money, using more energy, but also putting them at risk of fire!

Here's the link.

Today, I discovered that a home duster is a valuable tool in keeping your dryer free of lint.

As you'll notice in the following picture, I left the lent door open to illustrate a hidden lint farm!!! By using the duster, I was able to retrieve a great deal of the lint that remains in the dryer long after the filter itself is clean.



This project is easy, eco-friendly, energy efficient and only needs to be done every so often.

Cleaning the filter itself should be done every load!!! I can't tell you how disappointing it is to learn that so many don't do this.

I'll try to find an article about how much extra energy is needed for a lint-infested dryer.




Don't forget to save your lint for composting!!!

Remember: You paid for that lint at some point when you bought the garments and other household things you use on a regular basis.

Get the most out of everything! It's good for the environment to use less and re-purpose everything you can.

Lint makes a great "brown" material for your compost.



A great step-by-step on composting here and here.

Never-Ending-Movie Quiz

Check out my high score on Flixster:



I know I am a long way from the top, but I'm really happy about the number of survey takers in the field of movie knowledge. It's unfortunately primarily associated with the past. Many movies that compromise the subject matter of the given questions are of what I consider the golden age of film.

I am, of course, referring to the 1980s.
