Hello there, my fellow Internet-ians. Today we talk about drying your clothes, more specifically hanging your clothes on “the line”. This is something new that I have tackled these last few weeks… and I love it. Besides praying to Grothar that the weather stays bright and beautiful, it is one of the easiest things to do.
So, how to get started. All you need are two stable structures, preferably something that can stand to hold a bit of weight, some rope (there is rope made especially for clothes hanging. You can find it at Home Depot), and line pins. Wash your clothes with your non-toxic laundry detergent and non-toxic fabric softener, remove from washing machine and hang.
Couple of things to consider:
The part about having two sturdy structures is very important. I would hate to get a comment about a fallen fence in the name of the environment.
Be sure the rope you buy can deal with the weight of your clothes.
Make sure that the first line you hang is the most clothes you could go without washing at one time. That way you know about how much space and rope you need.
Make sure you know the weather patterns for the days around when you are planning on drying your clothes. The last thing you want to do is pick clothes off the line that have the “after the rain” smell and feel.
Try thinking about how much you are helping the environment (and your wallet) when your shoulders began to burn.
