Much of the energy we use everyday goes to heating and cooling. Whether it’s heating our home or refrigerating our food it takes a lot of energy.
By hanging your clothes out to dry on a clothesline you will save a lot of energy and your clothes will last longer and retain their color better. Why put one of those fresh air dryer sheets in with your laundry when you can have the real thing!
Some other ways to reduce energy consumption when drying your clothes.
- Put a retractable clothesline in your basement for the winter months. This will actually help add humidity to the dry winter air in your home as well.
- Use a lower heat setting.
- Wear your jeans twice before washing them.
