Re: How do you Line Dry clothes?

I "air" dry in the dryer for a while and then hang on hangers in my laundry room which is the garage. 

No problem drying anything in this Oklahoma heat.

 

A different story in the winter.

Foldable laundry drying rack also.  DO NOT PUT NICE FABRICS IN THE DRYER!

I have a tri-pod clothing rack in my laundry room.  Very convenient for clothing that I'd rather air dry than the dryer.

Re: How do you Line Dry clothes?

Depending on the fabric(quilts, silk,etc) I line dry outside on the clothes. In the winter I line dry in the furnace room. Sometimes in the shower on a hanger.

I'm almost where you are @Meowingkitty  Absolutely no dry flat or hand wash for sure. There are a couple of cotton T shirts I hang but that's it. I do allow myself one luxury. I like wearing blouses (little to no polyester) that if  washed would have to be ironed. They go the cleaners and come back perfect.

Like others I have the tri pod folding rack and a regular folding rack.  I use both of them and for maxi dresses I use the shower rod also.   Works out pretty well.

Re: How do you Line Dry clothes?

I have retractable lines on my porch.  Hardly ever use the dryer.  Everything goes outside.  In winter I have a multiple line clothes dryer that I bought from the Q.  My sheets go outside even in the winter.

Re: How do you Line Dry clothes?

I line dry all my clothes even jeans.  Sweats are the only thing that I put in the dryer and they even have to be many years with holes old.  I hang wet items all over the place shower rod, handle to my exercise bike and many door knobs too.  I love ironing so getting wrinkles out for me is no big deal.  Spending $$ on new clothes is a big deal for my cheap self.  A dryer is torture on clothing even if it says it can be placed in a dryer.  I even line dry my bath mats to save the rubber backing from slowly being melted over many dry cycles.

Re: How do you Line Dry clothes?

I have a foldable sweater dryer rack that is set up permanently.  I use this for the nicer tops & sweaters, etc.  If it is just a regular cotton blend type of top, etc., I put them on a hanger and hang them on my shower rod.

Isn't that what a treadmill is for?  LOL

 

I have a tri-pod plasic rack I bought that has arms coming off of it.  The arms have holes in them to slip hangers through and that is where I hang everything to dry.  It's set up in my spare bedroom.
