hanging out your laundry: Top TEN rules
|
What could be more sustainable than solar and wind power to dry your laundry? We encourage you to hang out your laundry. If your neighborhood doesn't allow it, fight that silly rule! Clothespin bags make laundry day a hoot. |

[10] Sunny, breezy days are ideal for hanging laundry using your solar clothes dryer [AKA clothesline].
[9] Using a snap of your wrists, shake out your laundry to get the big wrinkles out.
[8] If it's hot, buggy, or windy, shake out and sort your laundry before going out to the clothesline.
[7] The sun will fade dark or bright colors. Turn those items inside-out, or hang them inside.
[6] You might want to hang your underwear and anything delicate inside.
[5] A little rain won't hurt your laundry. A lot of rain will drag it down, stretch your knits, weaken the seams, and take forever to dry.
[4] Don't leave your wooden clothespins on the clothesline. They'll get splintery and leave gray marks on your clothes.
[3] Bring in your clothespin bag. Sun will fade it, and rain will rot it.
[2] A bird dropping or a few bugs won't hurt your laundry. Just flick them off.
[1] Fold your laundry as you take it down so you won't have a big wrinkled mess. Enjoy the lovely clean smell!
