Air Dry If the Weather Cooperates

On dry, somewhat breezy days, hanging laundry to dry can be sufficient without resorting to the dryer. The key is to choose the right time and place.

Outdoors

• Take advantage of dry days, with sun or a bit of wind.
• Hang clothes in the morning to make the most of the brightest hours.
• Some dark or delicate fabrics can lose color in direct sun: hang them in the shade or inside out.

Indoors

• Choose a ventilated area to prevent humidity and condensation.
• Open the window for a while or ventilate the room afterwards.
• Do not hang clothes directly over radiators if the manufacturer does not recommend it.

Tips for Faster Drying

• Spin according to what the label of each garment indicates.
• Shake items before hanging them.
• Hang them stretched out and separated so air can circulate.
• Hang shirts and dresses on hangers.

Check the Label

Some garments should not be hung or need to be dried flat, such as many wool sweaters. And if you use a dryer, follow the manufacturer's manual.
