Clotheslines for drying clothes inside are a great way to avoid the problems that come with hanging your laundry outside. Instead of risking rain, wind, and bugs coming in contact with your clothes, you can use retractable indoor clotheslines or indoor portable clotheslines to get the same results without having to deal with these unpleasantries. In this post we will discuss some portable solutions for those who want to keep their clothing clean indoors!
Clotheslines can be a great way to save money on your energy bills
A retractable or portable clothesline can reduce your energy use by up to 80%. Since the average clothes dryer uses 4,700 kWh each year and costs about $760 a year to operate, switching from a dryer to some type of clothesline could save you nearly $500 per year.
Using a clothesline also helps the environment by reducing carbon emissions and pollution
Emissions from clothes dryers include particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide. A typical gas-fueled electric dryer puts out 2,330 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. And if you’re using that high efficiency washer to clean up all those dirty washcloths and towels that automatically fill the machine every week than it’s more than 3100 pounds of CO2 per year for an average family! When people switch to hanging their laundry on a retractable indoor clothesline instead of throwing it in the dryer or washing machine they not only find their clothes come out softer but they also save environment in the process!
