Laundering erm bedroom clothes

I don't think the domestic godess type sections are the right place for this thread. Hope this is.
I wore some special clothing for role play on our anniversary last weekend. How do I dry it after washing without DDs asking awkward questions?
If oldest one spots anything new she checks it out for possible appropriation, while youngest checks it out for dressing up potential. I dont have a tumble drier because DH is too tight of concern for the environment.

An airer in your bedroom?
Wait to wash and dry it on the line until they're at school/nursery?

southeastastra · 24/03/2012 12:07

if it's a rubber gimp suit - a light going over with a damp sponge is usually adequate

Take it to your Mum/Aunt/friend and ask them to launder it for you? Wink.

Can you not hang it to dry in your room and lock the door?

Grin @ southeastastra.

ImperialBlether · 24/03/2012 12:18

Wash it in the machine and put it on the radiator in your bedroom with a heavy towel over it.

ImperialBlether · 24/03/2012 12:19

Dry towel, I mean.

fallenangle · 24/03/2012 12:25

LOL South, its not rubber. No lock on bedroom door and kids used to wandering in. Solo I am not letting on about this to friends and relations. I have realised, at least this week, I'm never home alone.

Airing cupboard?

CuttedUpPear · 24/03/2012 12:31

Yes, Solo the OP should take it to her mum's to wash, that would solve the embarrassment, ahem Grin

TimeForMeAndDD · 24/03/2012 12:34

I take mine down the launderette and leave them with the nice lady for a service wash.

CuttedUpPear · 24/03/2012 12:39

Don't wash it and just put it back on diiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrty Grin

fraiserno · 24/03/2012 12:40

How old are your children - isn't there a time when you can wash just as leaving the house to get them to nursery/school and then hang it out as soon as you get back and dried before they return???????????

fallenangle · 24/03/2012 12:43

Without being too graphic Pear it is very diiiirrrrrrrrrrrrty. Imperial may be on to something.

What is it???

alisonsmum · 24/03/2012 12:51

what is it?????

squeakytoy · 24/03/2012 12:59

I would throw it away by the sounds of it...

fallenangle · 24/03/2012 13:01

Iggly, Allsons: I was Responding to Pear. By dirty I meant well the wrong side of grubby. In its unwashed state it wouldn't turn anyone on.

Squeeky. No way it produced too good a response.

OP posts:
fallenangle · 24/03/2012 13:04

Should have been a comma in there or even 'No way,!

If anyone is interested DH just asked if I'd wear it tonight. I said 'no' and explained why not. He's taking DDs swimming and for a pizza via B&Q for a bolt. Its in the machine and will go on the line under a towel.

I really want to know what it is now!
Spill the beans, fallenangle!

fallenangle · 24/03/2012 14:57

It is on the line now under a towel should dry in this breeze. It's pretty tame to some I'm sure, its a stripy prisoner mini dress and matching knickers.

ChippyMinton · 24/03/2012 15:03

Towel has slipped a bit.

Lueji · 24/03/2012 15:27

If it doesn't dry on time iron it or use the hair drier.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 24/03/2012 15:57

Wear other clothes and tell him you went over the wall :o
