Rayon is a dealbreaker for me.  Won't buy it.  Everyday clothes need to go in the dryer, except for bras.  I do hand wash and lay flat my wool sweaters just like in the old days.

I don't dry flat, hand wash, or iron anything.

I have a sweater drying rack that I will set up in a spare bedroom for things that need to dry flat.

My pointe knit pants have rayon in it.  I don't like rayon because it can pill easily and shrink if the dryer is too warm.

 

I try to avoid any clothing with rayon.  Looks nice but not worth it to me.

I air dry the things that have spandex in them--just hang them on a hanger with clips and put them in my bath shower curtain rod--no big deal. I will lay sweaters flat on towels on my bed--I will put some stuff on a low heat cycle for a few minutes and then hang them.

Have drying rack from the 1970's  and recently found a taller one.

 95% of the time I line dry all my clothes , jeans, ponte pants,  shirts, sweaters , socks, lingerie  ext.

 I only use the dryer  to  dry sheets, blankets , comfortors and towels

I have 2 of those flat mesh things that stack. I lay my sweaters flat to dry on those. I never put sweaters in the dryer. I wear a lot of sweaters this time of year so I really need to buy more of those mesh things.

 

Our laundry is in the basement so I have enough space to do what's best for my clothes. I have a clothes rack if I need to hang something to dry, the mesh things for drying items flat are stacked on a table, and I have my ironing board and iron nearby.

I have a tiny one bedroom so no space to dry flat.  That is definitely a deal breaker for me.

Dry flat or line dry but a drying is no for me, even bath mats are lined dried so that the backing does not melt.  Dryers are brutal on clothes.
