When you wash clothes, they still contain bacteria. Hanging them out in the daylight, the UV light kills the bacteria, that's why people say they smell fresh.I used to love hanging clothes on the line. They smell so fresh.
Don’t most driers work on gas? Way cheaper than electricity.
And thawed.Clotheslines are so great!
Here in Oregon, I just put my clothes on the line this time of year, and then take them down in June when they are dry,
Seems that way but I’ve always had gas.Most dryers are electric.

I don't use one, but my neighbor uses the one that I strung for him; Twice. He needs it. It is what it is.Energy is going to get ridiculously expensive so we need to re-think some of the old ways.
Use a clothes line for towels, Denims, heavy cottons. I recommend getting the " Quick Dry " towels though I will
admit they are not as effective for bathing.
Now you don't have to wait till they are one hundred percent dry.
If you leave them out for two hours before using the Dryer you will find that
the average load dries in ten minutes instead of 25 minutes. That's 40 percent of the original energy.
Also you almost never need the high setting. It chases more out the flu that doesn't get used.
Try medium and sometimes low....time it...see how it works.
For those who have attics ( my attic is massive because I have an old house....) the summer time temp can get to 140 degrees even on a cloudy day.
hang your clothes up there...they dry in no time ... totally dry.

What about cold humid weather? They can't dry if they freeze. LOL, my mom used to put wet laundry to be ironed in the freezer and then thaw and iron them when time allowed. Saved the wet clothes from souring.Clothes dry faster in cold weather than hot humid weather.
Sign up for lower 'off-peak' electric rates if available.Gas dryers are more expensive to buy, but cheaper to operate.
