I hang large stuff from the line and small stuff on the rack. I enjoy saving money and time at the laundromat.

Over the summer, it was so hot, I could often get two loads dry per day.<br /><br />My dryer is actually broken now though and I wish I had it for a couple of days. It's been raining for days and my stuff just does not dry well in the house, then it smells musty and needs to be rewashed.

I'm not sure my family and I will be able to tolerate the pollen but since I haven't line dried our laundry for years it would be good to try again. Besides I could try hanging everything inside if we have problems.
