A lot of people in the world do their laundry, and automatically chuck the clothes into a drying machine. However, that is not always the best way to go. Many places in the world don’t utilize dryers for many reasons, and they can often be pretty pricey. But beyond that, there are so many good reasons to hang dry your clothes, and here are just a few.
Environmentally Friendly
Drying your clothes uses up energy, which is not sustainable for the environment. Instead, air-drying your clothes uses no energy and is very sustainable. Besides that, you will save on your monthly energy bill which will help you in other ways.

Clothing Needs
Even if a label says you can machine dry an item, you never want to take the chance just in case it’s wrong. Machines can wrinkle, shrink, and possible ruin an item of clothing. But, if you hang dry it, there’s no way it can get ruined and will save you from having to replace your favorite clothing.
If you have leave your white clothes outside to dry, whether it’s on a line or on a rack, you can naturally whiten your clothes! This saves you the time and energy you would normally use to bleach stains, so it’s a complete win-win.
