Climate-Rising Tip #3 – Use your shower to steam your clothes

Jump to Comments

A Number 1 enemy of life is ironing. It’s annoying, it takes a long time, it’s frustrating, it can burn your house down if you accidentally leave the iron on – the list is endless. Here’s good news: You can eliminate ironing while raising the climate. This process needs only three things – a small bathroom, a shower, and some wrinkly clothes.

  1. Turn the shower and faucet in your bathroom as hot as they can go.
  2. Hang your wrinkly clothes somewhere in the bathroom.
  3. Shut the bathroom door and any windows. You’re essentially turning your bathroom into a steam room.
  4. Leave for a few hours.

This easy-to-do process works because you’re wasting hot water which is most likely heated by fossil fuels. To achieve maximum effectiveness, this process works best overnight while you’re sleeping. Pop in the clothes you need the next morning for work and you’re good to go at 8AM.

This tip has additional non-global warming benefits. For one, the overnight shower provides a good white noise to fall asleep to. Second, the shower may slightly raise the climate of your house, which is good during those cold winter nights.

  • “Second, the shower may slightly raise the climate of your house, which is good during those cold winter nights.”

    Wouldn’t this work better in the summer so that it raises your house temperature, thus requiring you turn on the air conditioning?

  • Sir, that’s brilliant. You really thought outside of the box here. You’re a true AG. Well done.
