Find the Merits of Outdoor Clothesline

Posted by Tom Delaney on November 22nd, 2016

Despite the advances in life, certain actions are best performed traditionally.  It is true that alternatives are available, with close results. But, the close results are not the exact results received through traditional methods.  For instance, this age of quick fix solutions cannot replicate the benefits of traditional drying of clothes in the open.  Read on to understand how drying clothes in the open is distinctly advantageous over indoor lines or clothes dryers.

Getting rid of dust mites

The best way to get rid of dust mites is outdoors. This is a proven point. You can get rid of the allergens by washing in a machine. But if you need to get rid of the mites themselves, then a good old drying in the sun can banish them. Mites are the smallest sized biggest menace in our lives, and the cause of a sizeable proportion of allergies.

Clothes dried in the open are well dried Clothes dried out in the open are fully dried. There will be no damp or semi damp areas in the clothes such as thicker material, overlapping areas, lining etc. The clothes will be crisp and never lead to foul odor because of dampness in clothes.  Clothes that are dried indoors can sometimes remain damp. And if you’ve never noticed it, then you will surely experience a foul odor after they’ve been stowed away.

Clothes not subjected to contrasting conditions that weaken fabric

Sometimes clothes are put into a dryer after they’ve been washed. This exposes the fabric to quickly contrasting temperatures. This certainly does not augur well for the fabric over an extended period of wash and quick dry cycles. The clothes will lose their luster, shape and start billowing or shrinking. Clothes that are put to dry on an outdoor clothes line will be gradually exposed to the heat and breeze. This will not harm the clothes.

Clotheslines made from good materials will have strong taut lines. This will ensure that the clothes do not shift and overlap with adjacent clothes. An indoor line will be constrained for space resulting in adjusting while drying. This may result in the clothes remaining damp. Similarly, as there may not be sufficient space for all clothes, it may end up being dried in two batches. This is likely to result in damp clothes, which can lead to unwanted odor and chances of skin allergy.
