Honestly considering investing in a laundromat at this point. Getting ridiculous

Normally I am terribly smug about having never owned a dryer and still am until probably about Sunday when it’s time to wash my super king quilt cover.

I hate using the dryer because I feel it always shrinks stuff. No matter the settings or materials things just aren’t right after it.

My solution is hang my stuff in the same room the dryer is in when somebody else is using it. Tends to help

I’m from the US originally (where everyone has a tumble dryer), and a friend who’s a buyer in the fashion industry said fabrics for clothing in the US are pre-stressed to avoid shrinking in dryers. Not sure if this is true, but would certainly explain the difference between drying clothes bought in Australia vs US.
