i have some other ?'s too but it would get to wordy so email me and i will ask
I use a dryer most of the time just because it is the normal way of drying clothes but hanging clothes on a line is easy to so I do take advantage of the summer heat.
I'm going to be honest.I don't.cause I'm lazyI think its a hassle hanging it up with clothes pins and then taking it downI know it saves energy, but I use those special light bulbs all around my house and have a special thermostat for my heating and cooling of the house so I figure that buys me a pass to not have line dry my clothes and let me use my beloved dryer.
Dryers take such a toll on the fabricsI hate how some items become bare-threaded' so quicklyAlthough air drying does make clothing/towels a bit stiff, they will soften some once they are stored in the closets for a bit of timeAlso, towels seem to be more absorbent when using to dry after showers and baths And, saving energy/money, wear and tear on the dryer and late-night noise are also definite pluses as wellWe use a retractable clothes line that is automatically rewound when not in useIt's located on a porch with an over-head cover, so unexpected rain showers don't spoil drying efforts.
I only line dry items if my dryer is brokeI'm the opposite.I would never hang towelsThey are too heavy and take to long to dry in the dryer much less outsideI did try line drying a few years back (when my dryer broke and so was I and I couldn't get a new one for a while) They always seemed stiff and hardI don't know something bout the dryer made them fluffy and softAfter like 2 loads being line dried, I took to laundry to my in-laws to wash.
