When we lived off the grid we air-dried everything (of course) but now we’ve backslided back in the city. KUOW had a show (yesterday, I think) on this subject and I was surprised to find out–okay, not so surprised, sadly–that something like 50% of homeowner cartels prohibit air-drying…’cause it’s so unsightly, y’know! When will we learn???

We hang laundry in our rather shady Back Forty (forty square feet), and even with not much sun everything ends up smelling fresh from the lovely air. For convenience our plastic clothesline is wound up in a round plastic spring-loaded case, bought at Hardwick’s and screwed to the wood structure that holds our rain barrels high up against the house (for good water pressure). We pull the line out and through a hook high on the garage woodwork, then attach the end to a hook on the fence post. When our triangle of drying is done, zip! goes the line back into its neat round case.

We started drying our sheets outside this summer, under the tree in our back yard. Boy, do they smell wonderful after an hour or two in the sun.
