Improved Towel Drying Widget
Here is a device which accomplishes a number of things simply by creating space between either side of a hanging towel which allows air to circulate which has numerous effects which may not be readily apparent.
1. Speeds drying of towel
2. Reduces growth of mildew from improperly dried towels
3. Reduces time spent washing laundry due to mildewy towels
4. Saves money on soap and reduces eutrophication (over abundant phosphorous) of waterways
5. Saves water and associated processing energy
6. Saves natural gas used to heat water saving money while reducing greenhouse gases
7. Less towel lint on other laundry
Considering that this can be made with a minimum of time and resources soon they should be everywhere.
To use it you simply make two of them and after showering hang them over the shower curtain rod at either end of your towel.
I live in the pacific northwest where the relative humidity, especially bathroom humidity is high and this has enabled me to reduce my towel laundering to one third of it's former amount. If you ever tire of it or it gets dirty you can rid yourself of it by composting or recycling and easily fabricate another in minutes.
MATERIALS,
1. CARDBOARD (sustainably managed renewable forest product)
2. CUTTING TOOL
3. FASTENING TOOL
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.
Cut 2 pieces of cardboard, they need to be not quite as long as an arm and as wide as an average hand from heel to fingertips.
Curl over both ends and fasten them with staples, though I'm sure hot glue or tape would suffice.
Bend it so it looks like some cherries in profile and it's ready to use.
