If you’re going to be spending hundreds on a new dryer, it might be a good time to invest another ten percent of that amount on one of the excellent clothes line systems or drying racks that have begun to enjoy newfound popularity. Unlike the clumsy contraptions your grandmom might have used, these sturdy and attractive drying racks make it easy to dry your clothes and bed linens without using any gas or electricity and give them a natural fresh smell that no dryer sheet can hope to match.
While some communities used to frown on hanging clothes outside, today’s energy-conscious mood is bringing the clothesline back into fashion. For those worried about being accused of creating an eyesore, the new, attractive designs that can be tucked away when not in use should mollify all but the most uptight neighborhood associations.
The high-quality materials used in these units makes them durable enough to give years of service that repays their purchase price many times over. For the style conscious, several brands feature sleek designs that compliment your backyard and serve as a signal to passers-by that you’ve joined the green revolution. We’ve even included several compact designs that can be used in small areas or even indoors so that folks without large backyards can also enjoy the smaller utility bills and smaller carbon footprint that air-drying can give you.
