Keep a bar of soap in the drawer. I mean, they end up smelling a little bit like soap but that's probably a better smell than what you have in mind.

My mum always put these specially designed sandalwood balls in drawers for clothes in storage. Worked well.

I put a pouch of fabric softener concentrate in the drawer/cupboard. Putting one under a seat in your car keeps it smelling fresh, too.

My nan always told me to put either some lavender or a bar of nice smelling soap in the drawer with my clothes. I've never used my clothes drawer though since everything I wear follows the wash > clothes airer > wear > floor > repeat cycle.

Seriously, why do some washing machine and microwave manufacturers feel that they need to alert you that these non-time-critical processes are complete and not shut up about it until you open the door?
Fire alarms are meant to be annoying so that you pay attention and don't die. Is it so critical that I get to my microwaved food within 15 seconds? Apparently a lot of them have a secret mute button by holding stop or something.

Are you sure it doesn't have an inbuilt water heater?
It sounds like you're putting too many clothes in a load if you feel like it doesn't use enough water. If it's full to the top and tightly packed, you've got way too much in there and stuff won't get clean as well as be streaky. The soap doesn't get agitated and dissolve and it'll stick to the clothes. Start by doing loads that only go halfway up the drum when loosely packed- anything over 3/4 even loosely is probably overfilled.

I am talking two jeans and a shirt being washed on their own here. I don't even own enough clothes to overload it. Quarter cap of detergent. Sorry.

I will see if I can get a hose adapter to the (unthreaded) sink tap and set that to hot.

Failing that I will just wash them at my parents place.

My gD Toaster beeps so loud ; it is the same warning tone as an APC UPS has, so loud it will startle the cat and wake up anyone who’s sleeping in later than whoever is. Having toast for breakfast.

Great toaster otherwise—might get surgical on it if i can find that speaker and just remove but who thought “yes; the bread coming out isn’t a good enough tell for anyone make it BEEEEP” thanks for your design choices random toaster over engineerers

Is this a deliberate plot by big manufacturing? Make everything a "smart" device, beep, or do unnecessary things, and then in 5-10 years sell more machines with less bullshit in them to the broken consumers who would pay anything for some peace and simplicity?

honestly they're probably not getting dried enough if they're smelling out in the open like that. Sometimes they'll feel dry but have a bit of moisture left. I dunno. Anyway they make those sandlewood ball things someone was talking about with a hole in em so you can hang em on a (most) coathangers. I do like vacuum sealed bags but the biggest thing I find them useful for is packing away super bulky things that take up heaps of space that I never wear. You can just hang up em up but I usually wind up just putting em in a suitcase or somewhere you can really take advantage of the fact they wind up sort of square

my toaster slowly lifts the toast back out rather than popping, so the beep is for that. I don't know if it's for any actual reason other than being a little more elegant but thinking about it maybe it doesn't jettison so many crumbs?

that sounds dangerous what if the bread get stuck? does it just continue pushing upwards and crush your bread?

granted it saves you digging around in the toaster with your finger but at what cost???

I think I have this same toaster and there's little guide wire frame things around the bread, so there is no way it could get stuck. It's also a calm little beep, not like my angry bitching washing machine

Just give me friendly, happy beeps to alert me to my tech and I'm good.

I don't have a dryer atm but i got one of those washing machines that only has cold water intake and heats it in the machine so its crazy expensive to run if the solar panels aren't getting a full go so usually I am fiercely opposed to getting any washing done if there's even a hint of a cloud in the sky anyway

I put on some toast this morning for my breakfast. I gently caress off for a bit to tidy some other part of the house, and hear it pop in the kitchen.

I go back in, and I can’t find the god drat toast anyway. Now, this isn’t too surprising. We’ve been making sourdough like the true iso-yuppies we are, but the problem is it has so much more mass than regular bread, so it is often flung outside the confines of the toaster, and can often be found on the bench, behind the knife block, or even behind the bench top compost bin.

But this time, I checked all those usual places and still couldnt find it. I start broadening my search radius but still no trace of it on the bench. Then I look down and see it on the floor, underfoot. I wail in rage and angst, dust it off, and put on an irresponsible amount of butter and vegemite. Still tasted pretty good.
