It's easy to see that a clothesline is free, and doesn't use any energy at all. What's harder to measure: all the hidden costs of using an electric or gas dryer. Besides the expense of the unit and the energy it uses, there's a big carbon footprint, and the landfill space that behemoth takes up when it breaks down.
While saving energy by using a clothesline, you are also extending the life of your favorite clothes. Dryers are abrasive (that lint was ground off your clothes). Line-dried clothing lasts much longer. Fewer rags in the garbage, fewer trips to the store to replace your beloved outfits.
Best of all, you'll discover after you start line-drying that the process is relaxing and meditative. It's a quality-of-life benefit you may not have expected. By hanging clothes on a clothesline you'll end up with more energy than you started with.
A rope. A pole. How hard is that? Do we seriously need instructions? You'll be surprised, and we bet you'll find some installation tips you hadn't thought of.
Compared to machine dryers, clotheslines are far less expensive, healthier, gentler, and leave your clothes smelling better. Natural drying is far easier on the environment, and it gets you outdoors. More neighbors are switching to it, so you get to be a trendsetter. Learn why people are looking back for the future of outdoor clotheslines.
Choosing the right clothesline, whether you want a retractable line, umbrella style, or drying rack, is easy. Consider your desires and circumstances, if you prefer to do it in or out, and how much room you have to work with. However you decide to do it, the benefits of line drying your clothing will be a breath of fresh air.
It used to be that everyone used clotheslines. Then came electric dryers, quickly followed by flag-waving elitists who crowed that line drying was for the "little people." As attitudes readjust and line drying now becomes a symbol of enlightened people who care about the Earth, right-to-dry laws are slowly catching up.
