Ease of Install: Very EasyOther Notes: Instead of running the dryer in the middle of the day, consider hanging your recently washed clothes for them to air dry. Not only does this save electricity from not running the dryer, air drying reduces wrinkles, completely eliminates static cling, and can be less harmful on your clothes.
Some other tips for clothes lines, racks, and rods include:
- Hang T-shirt by the tails and socks by the toes to minimize clothespin marks.
- Make sure you shake out your clothes to help reduce wrinkles.
- If you’re hanging your clothes outdoors, don’t let them touch walls or posts – which might be dirty.
- Put heavy items near the end of the clothesline to prevent the line from sagging.
- Bring the clothes inside before it rains!
- Put your underwear on the inside and sheets on outside line so people from the road can’t see your undergarments.

Great Tip. Just wanted to remind you that not everybody lives somewhere that it is reasonable to have a clothesline. But don't dispare they can still save energy and the environment by air drying their clothes on a clothes drying rack.
