As general rule of thumb, clothing items laundered in a permanent-press or regular cycle in the washing machine can also be dried in the clothes dryer. But it’s always best to check the clothing care label. When in doubt, air-dry. This option saves money on fuel bills, extends the longevity of clothes, and reduces concerns about ruining certain clothing.\u00a0\u00a0 Air-drying though depends totally upon the climate, weather or season! Clothes may take time to dry in colder months. The longer the clothes take to dry, the more they stink!\u00a0Here are some ways and tips on drying laundry without any drier:<\/p>\n

\"USE A HIGH SPIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use a high spin setting on your washing machine so that as much water as possible is removed from your clothes before they\u2019re even ready to dry. The increased energy used to do this is nothing compared to the energy needed to run a tumble dryer.<\/p>\n

A FOLDABLE CLOTHES LINE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Foldable clothes lines collapse into each other, then fold flat against a wall so when they\u2019re not being used, they\u2019re out of the way. When you need it, unfold the frame and voila. This could be a good solution if you don\u2019t have two poles to attach a regular line to. Just use the back wall of your house or garage.<\/p>\n

DRYER RACK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dryer racks can\u2019t be beat for convenience, and many of them are large enough to handle an entire load of laundry at one time. If you\u2019re using a line of some sort, you\u2019ll need clothes pins to secure the clothes. Use the sturdiest clothespins you can find. Choose wood, not plastic, and store the pins inside and away from the elements when they\u2019re not in use to keep them from getting dirty or wet if it rains.<\/p>\n

HANGERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since you are going to end up putting clothes on hangers anyway, why not use those hangers to dry them? Hang the hangers off the drying rack around the edges or on surrounding furniture or on the chain of a ceiling fan in a little used room. Super effective, and very convenient\u2013when the clothes are dry, just move them to the closet\u2013after all, they\u2019re already on a hanger!<\/p>\n

FLIP<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you find your clothes are taking a little too long to dry or come up smelling a little musty, you might consider flipping clothes over on the rack, or inside out halfway through the drying process. This exposes the other surface of the clothes to the air and helps them dry much more quickly. I\u2019ve never found this necessary, but if you have some extra time during the day, it can\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n

INDOOR CLOTHES LINE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best way to dry clothes in your apartment is in door clotheslines (you can build one on the top of the ceiling of your gallery). The Indoor clotheslines hold approximately 30 to 40\u00a0pounds of clothes and it will hold lots of drying clothes with its extensions of about 70 feet and drying clothes without utilizing electricity is a great way to save money on your electric bill.<\/p>\n

A ROTARY LINE DRYER<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this style, a central pole that\u2019s permanently sunk into the ground opens up like an umbrella. Instead of water-repellent fabric, a mesh of lines unfolds, making it possible to hang an entire load of laundry. A hand crank on the pole makes it easy to raise the load a few feet above the ground, where the clothes can catch the breeze and dry quickly.
