Top 10 reasons to hang your laundry.


Project Laundry List provides 10 reasons to hang dry laundry:
1. Save money.
2. Clothes last longer.
3. Clothes and linens smell better.
4. It conserves energy and environmental resources.
5. Hanging laundry is a moderate physical activity that can be done outside.
6. Sunlight bleaches and disinfects.
7. Indoor racks can humidify in dry and cold climates.
8. It is safer. Clothes dryer fires account for about 17,700 fires, 15 deaths and 360 injuries annually.
9. It is a fun outdoor experience that can be meditative and community-building.
10. Small steps make a difference.

If you don't have access to the outside you can still air dry your clothes by simply using a clothes drying rack.

You have that right, Mary, and I'm glad you mentioned it. I've heard from many who use a rack to dry their clothes in the winter and during inclement weather.
Your drying rack link is great. I've never seen one like the "Beset Clothes Drying Rack". It makes a lot of sense over the traditional rack that I have myself. Thanks for the link.
Good luck in the clothespin apron drawing.
