New Tip for Drying Booties
New Tip for Drying Booties
I discovered this today by accident:
After rinsing and draining you booties upside down for a spell, sit them on top of the dryer. I have a front loader which makes this more practical. After a few dryer loads the boots should be dry inside!

Not as good as that tip a couple of years ago of the crunched up newspapers. Booties can be close to dry in a few hours if you change the paper. Good way to reuse before recycling; Caution. Paper may need to be treated as toxic waste afterwards, do not leave inside an inhabited space!
Works in unheated spaces too!

Hey MF4 that newspaper tip was mine too. I get obsessed about the small stuff apparently.
But I was way too lazy to scrunch up newspaper so the top of the dryer thing is a revelation for me.
Oh and I realized this morning that all dryers are front loading.
DOH. so it should work with em all.

Mattdog, I was trying to remember who had posted the newspaper thing. I recall you got the gears for that too (you must be the type to pick at scabs 
). The wife refuses to have the booties in the house unless they are in the basement with the door to upstairs always shut. So no dryer for me!
For those whose housemates refuse to have that comfy wet neoprene slowly drying smell around, try a fan blowing even cold air over a hanging wetsuit - works amazingly.

Thanks DD! Based on my memory of that pic, I tore out of the house last night just in time to have 20 min at Home Depot trying to find the right parts (which they didn't have). Managed to find a Y-splitting 2" to 1.5" and a bendy bit and a short length of 1.5", $9 later I was on my way home, 4 cuts of a 1.5" pipe and a few glues later I was the proud maker of a lopsided contraption not nearly as elegant as Daves, but apparently just as effective. Had to sneak the girl's hairdryer downstairs, just jammed it it the 2" end, turned the fan to high and the heat to medium. Almost got away with it but Anne heard a curious noise and started asking penetrating questions. Might have to buy a dedicated hairdryer, I can't understand why they think its going to damage the dryer!? But 10 min later the boots were dry!
Works great!!!!!!!!!!
