Could you live without clothes dryer? Washer only?

 

I'm thinking abt selling my clothes dryer and keeping
the washer only

I'm single and will be moving a lot and not sure I even
need a dryer.

Could you live without a dryer? If yes, how would YOU
dry your clothes?

 

Yes. I do have one that I got for free and have never bothered to use it.

Never even bothered to try it out.

Works fine for me.


Corse you dont.


Yes, and do, too.


I have enough clothes so that I can just wash when its not going to rain,
dry them on a line outside. Nothing flash, its just 3 runs of nylon rope
between rings on the wall of the house, rawlbolts, and rings on the fence.

 



do you live in an arid climate?

Yep, and the clothes dry fine on the line outside in winter too.

The met records claim that we had snow just once in 100 years, but I bet it
didnt stay long.

If you do multiple loads on the hottest dry days in summer, the first
load is often dry by the time the second load is ready for the line,
with the humidity 3-4% and the temp at 110F with a decent wind.
In fact if feels like you are walking into an oven when you hang the
clothes out on the line those days.

We do very occassionally get a day where the max doesnt get above 32F
in winter, but they are pretty rare and there are always sunny days in winter
and I have enough clothes so I can wait for good days for the wash.

    Been "without" since late 1995. 100% outdoor line-dry. Neighbor has
a good-sized pumphouse/greenhouse that he uses as a drying room to
line-dry on damp days. However, I'm in a rural Florida location with a ±
1-acre "yard" in a climate that allows year-around outdoor activity.
