Line
drying laundry is one of those luxuries not everyone can afford, because it isn’t
exactly something you can do in a tiny apartment. If you’re one of those lucky
enough to live in their own home, here’s why you should give it a try.
Eco-Friendly
If
you’re trying to make a small contribution towards saving the environment, line
drying your clothes is a good place to start. This technique promotes energy conservation,
and it will help you save a lot of money on your utility bills.
Putting
your clothes inside a dryer requires no effort at all. Line drying, on the other
hand, will keep you active – especially if you’re doing it outside. Studies
have shown you can burn almost 70 calories after 15 minutes of hanging laundry
or removing it from the line.
This
drying technique can enhances freshness and help remove strong odors from your
clothes. It can also prolong life span of your favorite items because it’s much
gentler on clothing than a dryer and it will never cause irreversible damage to
your favorite shirts and pants.
