The weather is fine, the days are long and you just want to be outside. That makes it the perfect time to start drying your clothes on an outdoor clothes line. You get some exercise and time to be in the fresh air and sunshine and your clothes get a deluxe drying treatment. They smell better and fresher and will last longer if not subjected to the rough and tumble action of the dryer.
A large percentage of the environmental impact of wearing clothes comes from laundering if you use hot water to wash and a clothes dryer to dry your garments. Plus, mechanically drying your laundry costs in the neighborhood of $70 per year.
If you are concerned that line drying your clothes will leave them stiff or bunchy or otherwise unpleasant to wear, check out these line drying tips. And remember with line drying you never get that unpleasant surprise of taking something out of the dryer that should never have been put in and finding the garment shrunk and unwearable.
So once you’ve simplified your wardrobe a bit with some of our slow fashion tips, why not take things one step further and hang your clothes to dry? A simple, natural drying method beautifully complements a simple style wardrobe and slow fashion. Try it today and we think you’ll agree.
