Saving money is my passion. Anywhere I can save—I will. Cleaning clothes on the other hand, is a chore that most definitely cannot be ignored. In order to get through a single day, it is greatly appreciated to cover the body with material, also known as clothing. We all know that our clothes get dirty fast, from daily sweat to falling in mud. One of the eco-friendly methods I try to abide by is to wear my clothing at least twice before submitting to the cleaning process. Along with the cleaning process of clothes follows another step, the drying process.
This to some people is a very important step, allowing them to wear nice, soft clothes—and yes it is much quicker to use a drying machine. In order to keep my eco-friendly persona up, I must find alternative ways to dry my clothes, by using the hang drying method to help me do so. One cool thing about this eco-friendly drying method is that the integrity of the clothing is maintained longer when clothes air dry.
There are many different ways to manually dry your clothing, one being a clothesline. This drying device simply is set up across a backyard, where you can then place all of your clothes neatly. This is where the sun comes into effect and uses it’s rays to potentially dry the clothes. Winter season however makes this process quite difficult. Not sure if anyone has ever had any success. With that being said, I have yet discovered another device that is simple, convenient and spacious. I call it the magic rack—a metal rack that can fold up and set in any space, it can be placed anywhere and can hold large load of clothing. My Personal Preference being the laundry room. These are also known to some as a "clothes horse".
An article I read, stated that hang drying your clothing also makes your chances of fading and shrinkage a lot lower then if you were to use a drying machine.
Positive ways for the environment however consists of more then just shrinking and fading; it consists of saving energy. In another article, on the same website I read that, when it comes to energy star ratings, dryers are not even close—hence why they are unhealthy for the environment. Drying machines consume a ton of energy and also allow CO2, to enter our much-needed environment. In other words, by simply switching to hang drying you could save a large amount of unnecessary energy.
I found a video clip that helps the understanding of how portable clothing racks work. How handy and effective they can be in a household or to the environment—as far as energy efficient. These racks can be purchased in many local stores, for example IKEA and they are surprisingly inexpensive. There is no reason why anyone would not want to purchase this product, let me tell you—it sure is easy, convenient and suitable for any household clothing operations.
