Six environmentally friendly tips for drying clothes
Dry loads of clothing one after another to make use of leftover heat. Loads will dry more quickly this way.
Don’t add wet or damp clothes to a partially dry load already in progress.
Make your own fabric softener. Add a teaspoon of fragrance free natural conditioner onto a cloth and place it in the dryer with the clothing.
Clean the lint trap in the dryer after every use to keep good circulation and reduce energy usage.
Remove clothing from the dryer before it’s completely dry and let it finish drying on a line.
Use a drying rack or a clothes line either inside or outside of your home instead of using the dryer.
