They save so much energy, and it is kind of peaceful to hang the clothes.<br /><br />We live in an apartment and don't have a clothesline, but still air dry our clothes using this <a href="http://www.bestdryingrack.com" rel="nofollow">laundry drying rack</a> - being round it works really nice under a ceiling fan!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018551684446608803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313452044505500787.post-80228821712896190292009-10-15T14:02:14.013-05:002009-10-15T14:02:14.013-05:00I love hanging my clothes out to dry.

One thing I find is that towels do well if you don't leave them out too long. Bring them in while they a just a little damp or just dry and I put them in the dryer with the dryer balls. They fluff up so nicely and the dryer balls are reusable. I purchased mine at an outlet for less than $5.<br /><br />RuthRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211297812600845018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313452044505500787.post-73443126272183123172009-10-13T20:05:57.050-05:002009-10-13T20:05:57.050-05:00WOW!

I think I'm going to have to give it a try (minus the towels).<br />Thanks for the info!Beth Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657419180072998502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313452044505500787.post-49026494198922832512009-10-13T13:56:19.654-05:002009-10-13T13:56:19.654-05:00Line dry unless it is raining (as it is now).

Wow, that is an amazing amount. <br /><br />You may want to make sure that your community will allow you to install a permanent outdoors clothes lines. I know that some communities in my area don't allow them anymore. They grandfathered in existing clothes lines, but don't allow new ones to be installed. <br />I miss my childhood days of seeing laundry drying outside in our neighborhood. There was nothing like getting in bed at night and smelling the fresh sheets that your mom had just been brought in from the clothes line!<br /><br />If you can do it, I say go for it!<br /><br />Blessings, TracyWes and Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752148057127665551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313452044505500787.post-36821616906158324232009-10-13T10:44:11.358-05:002009-10-13T10:44:11.358-05:00I only dry towels...I have a drying rack in my sun...I only dry towels...I have a drying rack in my sunroom/tiny living room (we can't hang laundry outside per the homeowner's association). I fluff everything in the dryer for 5-10 just like you. I've been doing this forever! It saves on electricity and on spending money on clothes. Seems like mine and my daughter's clothes always shrink in the dryer.<br /><br />Did you receive your package??? I mailed it out on Oct. 6. Hope you liked it!<br /><br />Hugs!<br />KimKim's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369919651139526840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313452044505500787.post-4139357999213148432009-10-13T08:32:33.891-05:002009-10-13T08:32:33.891-05:00In the super warm days I have found that it takes ...In the super warm days I have found that it takes less time to line dry than the dryer.<br />If you are pressed for time dry one load on the line and another in the dryer, still using the dryer but for only 1/2 the time.<br />For towels I line dry them and then throw them in the dryer for about 10 mins w/ a softner sheet, they fluff right up and get nice and soft, no more crunchies.<br />Don't leave your items out too long, they'll get sun bleached in weird areas and you'll get tye dye looking shirts.A Little Of A Lothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11937227581092542783noreply@blogger.com
