Dry Your Clothes On A Clothesline

BENEFITS for Your Wallet: Each year, it costs dollars to run your clothes dryer. When you include the price of the dryer and the cost of repairs, it can add up to a lot of money. In contrast, most clotheslines are cheap to buy or make. Also, all of the energy from the sun is free!

BENEFITS for Your Clothes:

The dryer can wear down the material of your clothes, especially undergarments, clothing with elastic, sweaters, and other delicates. You can see this wearing for yourself every time you remove lint from your dryer. Zippers and other metal hooks can also snag on other clothes in the dryer, damaging material. Have you ever noticed your new clothes shrunken to a size smaller than you wanted? Blame your clothes dryer. Although most people shrinking is due to the temperature of the dryer, it's actually the tumbling action which causes this unpleasant effect. Fortunately, line-drying your clothes helps you avoid all of these problems, making your clothes last longer. A basic rule is to hang your colored clothing inside out to maintain the color of the clothing. With whites, you will love that bleaching effect of the sun, but you don’t want this to occur with your colored items.  Only draw back I have is stiff towels I prefer to put them in the dryer.

Cost: Low

If you make a clothesline yourself, you only need to spend money on a few materials like cord, posts, and cement. There are also pre-made clothesline contraptions

Time and effort: Variable

If you buy some pre-manufactured clotheslines, all you need to do is hang up and take down clothes. If you make your own clothesline, it may take an hour or so to set up, but it may also last a little longer.

Buy or make a clothesline?

There are different kinds of clotheslines for various households. Making your own clothesline is very cost-effective, and this type is sturdy against wind. On the other hand, if you don't have a lot of room or privacy in the yard, or if the weather is too rainy or snowy, you might consider buying a pre-made clothesline that is appropriate for you.  So why not give the dryer a break and start using a clothesline to dry your clothes instead.
