Wow! That's allot of clothes lines! Mind you, I never have enough space on my line. Some days I end up with loads of wet laundry if it's been damp for a few days. I still think that's better than the alternative of using the dryer.

Wow, I will have to try the indoor ones. I don't mind some of my clothes taking longer to dry. I never thought about an inside option. Thanks for sharing them.

Those are pretty great. Like I said before, I doubt I would buy something like that when some rope or twine would do but it might be nice to invest in something a little better especially if I can find them for cheap.

Wow, those are some pretty high tech drying systems! I love the indoor one that pulls out. I don't have an indoor laundry though. My washer is in the garage and there is no room.

I set up my garage (I live in a townhouse) with clotheslines to dry the clothing. I have found that to be effective. I can open the doors on warm days and the wind does a great job of coming in and drying them.

I'll have to give the garage trick a try actually because I'll soon be living in a place that doesn't have the same little piece of backyard that my current one does.

Hi Tater.

What I do about indoor hanging of clothes is using a battery powered dehumidifier. Because the moisture is centralized, and I don't really like to turn on the A/C unless I've got to for my pugs that are sensitive to heat, I really like using dehumidifiers in areas I hang wet clothes. It will help with not only pulling the moisture out of the air, but the moisture in the clothes evaporates faster.

And better yet, you can use the water out of the bucket to water your plants.

lol. Yeah, I know. I started off with just one line outdoors and a cheap bathroom clothes line for my undies as the thing couldn't hold anything other than that. One line is never enough. Especially when you involve sheets, blankets, bath towels, microfiber rags, shammies.

It seems like a lot of lines, but ideally I'd really like to be at the point where I can do all the laundry in one weekend. Shockingly I still have to space out my loads some. I'd really like to get one more line for outside and I'll be totally happy. lol.

Note: The first indoor rack I'm not sure if it is the same one I have. The one I have locks, so the top rack that lifts up doesn't budge regardless of what I put on it. I looked on the assembly instructions for the one I linked and didn't read anything about locks on the rack. If anyone is interested in getting this one, please ask them if this is the locking rack first.

Everything else I have the same exact models.

Of course the best solution to saving energy on clothes drying is to hang them outside. HOWEVER: I have been informed at a conference that the same is not true for hanging them indoors. For those of us that need to heat our homes in the winter/cold seasons, drying clothes inside which adds extra humidity into the indoor air will actually cost more money and use more energy than drying them in a dryer. The reason for this is that more humid air is harder to heat, as you are heating both the air and the humidity. Your furnace will have to use a lot more energy to heat your house to the point where your clothes will dry inside than what you would have used if you had put your clothes in the dryer, which presumably has an air tube to send the humid air out into the outdoors, so that this harder-to-heat humid air does not enter your home and require additional heat from your central heating.
Feel free to correct me if you feel that I am wrong.
