Takes too long and they end up uncomfortably stiff.<BR/><BR/>I do, however, hang sheets, pillowcases, and some quilts out on the clothesline. They dry fairly quickly and hanging them out in the sun helps with bleaching any whites.<BR/><BR/>I don't hang towels out on the line because they become scratchy-stiff.<BR/><BR/>I don't have an electric clothes dryer - ours is a gas dryer and we run it on propane.<BR/><BR/>Whatever carbon expended on the dryer, I believe can be offset in other ways - like switching to CFL lights, unplugging appliances not in use, and washing in cold water.<BR/><BR/>Being carbon neutral is one thing, but being realistic is another. :)TennZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16818485347898628125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21022931.post-59646406828224263352009-03-16T23:25:00.000-04:002009-03-16T23:25:00.000-04:00I got my laundry drying racks at IKEA for a good p...I got my laundry drying racks at IKEA for a good price...not useing them now but I am hanging my laundry and in this dry air the stuff is dry in 2 house but so are my eyes, nose, lips, hands, hell my while body.
