We had lines strung up in our basement to use during the winter and for things that we didn't want to fade in the sun. I think socks and underwear went in the dryer, but they may have hung up on the lines downstairs or on a drying rack. I hang all my underwear and the kids' clothes on a drying rack. That may be a good option for things you won't want waving in the wind for all to see. Things definitely last longer if they're hanging to dry. <br />Oh, and I would recommend a retractable clothesline. You can find one with multiple lines and you can take it down when it's not in use or you need the yard for playing. (I have actually clotheslined myself on an actual clothesline before!

You're using less energy, and the clothes also dry faster. Mrs. L. Higginbottomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682005864712426421noreply@blogger.com
