How do you Line Dry clothes?

Where I live we do not have clotheslines.  When the care instructions say Line Dry, what do you do in that case?

I usually tumble them in the dryer about 5 minutes to shake out wrinkles, then hang on a hanger to dry.  In nice weather I put them out on the patio and they're dry in minutes (desert climate).

I just hang mine on the shower rod. It works great 👍.

Re: How do you Line Dry clothes?

Luckily, I have a nice size laundry room in the basement and there are places to hang things up.  Also, I purchased a drying rack at Aldi which I can hang things on or place things on to dry.  I line dry all my tops and slack, even when the tag says no need to.  I think it avoids shrinkage and keeps things looking new longer.  There are drying racks you can buy inexpensively on-line, too.

I have a folding rack in my laundry room. I tumble press on low some things and then hang them on a shower curtain rod in my master suite bathroom.  They do have drying racks that fit in a bathtub.  I plan on getting one of them, too.

I have an umbrella dryer that I bough on QVC over 20 years ago

I have a tripod folding rack I set up in my spare bedroom.  Hang things on the arms of the rack that can't go in the dryer.  Undies get clipped to a hanger with a clothespin...3-4 can fit on one hanger that way.

 

It works because stuff is spun well enough in the washer so nothing is "dripping"wet...no problem with the carpeted floor getting wet.

I don't buy anything that requires special care. No dry clean, hand wash, lay flat, iron etc. If it can't be put in the dryer it stays in the store.
