Anything natural and free to use like sunlight and wind has to be bad Oh, so you do need sunlight after all. whereas something that wastes high grade energy is automatically good. Dryers aren't a waste because they accomplish an important task, whereas billboards, private jets, limos, heated pools and large mansions do not. You deprive yourself of the best Waiting around for laundry to get half-dry on a filthy clothesline does not meet ny definition of " best." So the problem is that you never clean your clothesline - perhaps that would improve your experience of drying clothes outdoors.

I strongly suspect that the same people who try to air-dry their laundry probably dispense with deodorants as well. You are a joke. You can expect that clothesline users probably try to over-economize in areas of personal hygiene as well: http://tinychoices.com/2009/11/24/bl...aundry-to-dry/ and http://tinychoices.com/2007/11/14/do...eed-deodorant/ Maybe both habits contribute to odor, in a synergistic manner? Set yourself free of ideology - your life will be much less stressful. and your clothes will be much fresher. Then we should expect to see all the eco-celeb hypocrites trying to dry all of their laundry shouldn't we? Doesn't America have peculiar zoning laws that prevent people from hanging washing outside? There are no federal or state laws against it, but _maybe_ some municipal laws in a few places. Usually it will be an HOA (home owners association) that imposes such a rule. These rules tend to keep property values up, and most residents don't want to hang laundry anyway, so it is mostly a win for them. I would hope that someone who lives in my area would be able to afford to run a dryer. A basic machine costs around$300, costs only a few dollars a month to operate and lasts for decades. Now, if Malibu Barby expects the rest of us to hang laundry, she should be willing to do so herself. If she has an HOA that forbids it, then she should move. |

Wash the clothes in the washer then dry them in the dryer, iron, fold....that pretty much covers it. The one single advantage to drying laundry in bright sunlight is the UV kills germs left over from the wash. That, and the fact the clothes might actually get dry in the sunlight. You still have the pollen, dust and bird poop problems, sun or shade. And no, dryers don't get hot enough to kill germs, so it is not more sanitary to use a drier. No one said they did, but taking clean clothes out of a washer and placing them outdoors is counterproductive. |
