A Laundry List

A few reasons why you should hang your clothes out to dry:

  • Save money with lower electric bills
  • Conserve energy and the environment -- electric dryers use five to ten percent of residential electricity in the U.S.
  • Sunlight bleaches and disinfects naturally without chemicals
  • 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.
  • Clothes last longer
  • Clothes and sheets smell better without chemical fragrances
  • Breezecatcher offers my readers a discount on their excellent umbrella rotary clothes dryers. Enjoy 5% off and free shipping by entering BS5000 in the coupon code at check out.

And finally -- on a partially-related note -- a little clothesline humor:
