Aiko learns how to do laundry, which in Japan, usually means hanging them out to dry on your balcony. Although you can purchase dryers (or combo washer/dryer machines), they're not common like they are in North America. When it rains, laundry can be hung indoors, and modern bathrooms have heater fans inside them that can be used to dry clothes.

When we wash our clothes, we usually use the old bath water for the wash cycle (the cycle that uses detergent). After that cycle is done, the clothes is rinsed with fresh water.
