Top 10 reasons to air dry your laundry
Dryers use ten to fifteen percent of domestic energy in the United States!
(Learn more...) and almost more energy then any other household appliance...
10) Save money (more than $25/month off electric bill for many households).
9) Clothes last longer. Where do you think lint comes from?
8) Clothes and linens smell better without adding possibly toxic chemicals to your body and the environment.
7) Conserve energy and the environment, while reducing climate change.
6) It is moderate physical activity which you can do in or outside.
5) Sunlight bleaches and disinfects.
4) Indoor racks can humidify in dry winter weather.
I love mine because it belonged to a dear friends mom...
3) Clothes dryer fires account for about 15,600 structure fires, 15 deaths, and 400 injuries annually. The yearly national fire loss for clothes dryer fires in structures is estimated at $99 million. That's scary...
2) Can be an outdoor experience that is meditative and community-building. I look for the first red winged black birds, watch the hens and ducks in the barn yard and yes I really enjoy hanging my laundry. One of my granddaughters was proud to tell her class, that her grammy hangs out her wash, like a story they were reading...and my grandson Zac is always happy to be lowered on the other side of the fence to retreive my clothes pins and dropped socks!
1) Demonstrates that small steps can make a difference. Don't have to wait for the government to take action!
