We use rags and cloths for the majority of our housekeeping, but I just toss them in a separate, small, laundry hamper without worrying about drying them first. I generally wash them in the same load as other household linens, and haven't really noticed a smell, as long as I wring them out thoroughly. If I, however, put them in a CLOSED container (such as a plastic bag) when they're wet, they reek to high heaven!mrs shortcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943195020095172193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19216419.post-44348263202805526522010-06-09T21:50:53.403-04:002010-06-09T21:50:53.403-04:00This isn't a bad idea and it's cheap.

Can you fill a spray bottle with water and a few drops of the essential oil scent of your choice? (or insert some other super-housewife-secret like baking soda or whatever... I'm sure there's a great mixture idea that I just don't know about.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19216419.post-40771494609607414432010-06-09T00:28:28.419-04:002010-06-09T00:28:28.419-04:00http://www.organize.com/exwaldryer.html

That way they could be contained and air out at the same time and you could just dump the entire (open) bag into the wash when it gets full. They would fall out during the wash so you wouldn't even have to handle them again until they were clean. :) I'd probably put on the back of the basement door or even on the side of the cabinet that faces the door... it's definitely not a pretty showcase-worthy solution like those you have above!virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16799456310788814390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19216419.post-80768503296708626642010-06-08T10:38:25.461-04:002010-06-08T10:38:25.461-04:00What about using the space 'right' inside ...What about using the space 'right' inside the basement door?<br /><br />Either a towel rack hanging to it on the 'inside' of the door OR hanging that wall drying rack on the wall heading down into the basement? (I love that rack!)<br /><br />As for storage/basket - I think that's the easiest of your 'problems' :)Jilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312595124182476969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19216419.post-92168155930860506692010-06-08T09:54:36.455-04:002010-06-08T09:54:36.455-04:00Less classy, but cheaper: could you add a towel ra...Less classy, but cheaper: could you add a towel rack or some hooks to the side of your cabinet (next to the cat's dishes?) These would be mostly out of sight, and would give the rags a place to dry out. Then, a basket or bin to toss them in to -- either inside a cabinet, or a free standing solution like the slide-out hamper.<br /><br />Also, I don't know if you've seen this, but Centsational girl made her own drying rack like the one above. Cost effective, and you could customize the size to fit your space. http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2009/07/diy-laundry-room-drying-rack/nodakademichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558969691762187390noreply@blogger.com
