If it isn’t obvious by now, I am all for anything that makes life a little greener. Recycling, reusing and just making our world a better place. Regardless of any political issues, I really don’t see anything wrong with any of those.
One of my favorite things to do is hanging laundry and I will encourage anyone out there to do the same. Not just for the eco-friendly reasons you think.
The following are my reasons why I love hanging laundry. Seriously love it. Even inside in the winter on drying racks.
1. It relaxes me. Whether it be outside in the sun, or inside in the winter, something about hanging and sorting each individual piece is calming. It’s almost a form of meditation. Really, you should try it sometime.
2. It does save money. Anything that helps you not use your appliances will save you money.
3. They smell nice.
4. Going old school. As I sit here typing on my Mac laptop with my various other electronic equipment scattered around the table, I realize how we often forget to teach our children and ourselves that we do not NEED all of this stuff that we have to do the things we need to do. I can live without a clothes dryer.
5. It keeps clothes nicer, longer.
6. If you do it outside, Mr. Sun is the best disinfectant.
7. One last favorite reason… You can’t beat a 20 month old running through the sheets on the line and laughing. So yes, line drying your laundry can be fun too!
So if I haven’t convinced you yet, just go ahead and start with one piece of laundry and see how you like it!
If nothing else, you know that you are doing something good for the earth. Turning on one less appliance is never a bad thing for Mother Nature, or for your wallet.
If you don’t have a place to hang a line, don’t worry, you can still do it. My line
It’s as easy as that!
