Washing Dries On The Line In All Weathers

It's a myth that in order to dry clothes on a line it has to be bright and sunny. True, it will certainly help but it's a strong breeze that helps get rid of the moisture in materials more. So if it looks like its going to be dull and overcast all day don't just leave the wet washing inside or be tempted to use the tumble dryer (they use so much electricity).

Put the washing on the line and even if you leave it on there all day while you are out at work it will be so much dryer when you get home. At the very least it may be slightly damp which for clothes that need ironing is just right. At the very worst and it ends up pouring with rain all day all that means is that your washing has had an extra rinse - and a completely natural one too!

Oh, and while we're talking washing:

1. Have you ever thought about just how dirty your clothes are or aren't? 
2. Do you really need to wash at such a high temperature.
3. Does the wash cycle really need to be that long? 
4. How much washing powder/liquid and fabric conditioner are you using?

Just thinking about these four questions and altering what you do in response to them might save you far more than you might realise.
