This blog is brilliant as it nourishes and inspires those who are concerned about mother earth. It illustrates how line drying techniques could be effective and help manage electricity consumption, which would have been used by clothes drying appliances. It also describes the advantages of air drying e.g. line drying clothes in sunlight acts like a disinfectant, the clothes smell better and need not be crushed in dryer’s drums. I gone through one of the web site http://www.breezedryer.com/ that also works on protecting the environment by emphasizing on using air drying techniques. Nice Post!!!

I know that many 'upscale' housing communities have covenants that forbid clotheslines. I happen to think this is a silly, snobby attitude. Maybe as people's consciousness is raised, along with the price of energy, people will return to the pleasure--and practicality--of hanging out their laundry.
