I have a wooden drying rack I bought at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $10.00. I live in NYC, with no washer or dryer in apt., so I take my clothes to laundry mat. I was having to wait for 45 min to an hour for my clothes to dry in the dryers, not to mention spending about $5.00 every week on the dryers. Well, no more! Now, every week I just wash everything up in several washers, load it up wet, and lay everything on the drying rack in my apt. The sheets I hang from doors. Its all done in about 1 hour. And the colors of my clothes stay much brighter and nothing is shrunken and terrible. Its so much better! Its much better for your clothes.

People living in the cities used to run the lines from one building to the next and hang the clothes out from the window. Perhaps they still do. I have a retractable clothes line in the garage and am thinking about putting a clothes line up in the back yard. My concern is that the clothes will fade in the florida sun over time. Once, I laid a light pastel shirt out to dry on the picnic table. I went out of town for the weekend and forgot to bring it inside. When I got back, the front of the shirt was faded to an almost white color, while the back side was the same pastel color. Perhaps I will hang some things outside and the others in the garage. Although, things hung out in the garage do not have that wonderful fresh smell. If you are tight on space, put the clothes line on a pully system.

I own my house free and clear, in a nice residential area, and I like hanging clothes out when the weather permits! Lots of people in my rural area hang clothes out - especially the bedding - as it smells so good and fresh and sun-kissed when it goes back on the bed :) Why does it equate to subsidized housing?

Here is the coolest <a href="http://www.bestdryingrack.com/" rel="nofollow">clothes drying rack</a> I have found. It folds up really small. Since the top rotates it can be near a traffic path in your house and if you get close enough to brush into it just spins like a turnstile. Putting it right below the ceiling fan works nice in the winter.

I can easily put 2 loads of laundry on it. We still use our dryer for some things - fluff up towels/sheets/blankets for a few minutes after hanging them up. We have just started using it, and we saw a significant drop in our electric bill - I was so happy! :D We live in an apartment, and use this drying rack found at Ikea : http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80119043
