Question of making the useful with the pleasant, I made you a small top 8 of the best natural tips to master the art of outdoor drying.

GREAT ECONOMY
When you know that the dryer represents 34% of the consumption of all household appliances, there is no longer any question to ask to reduce the electricity bill. Not only that, but you can cross dryer sheets off your shopping list. Clothes that dry do not develop static.

THE IDEAL CLOTHESLINE
The ideal clothesline will have one part in the shade, the other in the sun, which will suit any type of clothing: white fabrics in the sun and colored clothes in the shade.

HOW TO HANG CLOTHES EFFECTIVELY

• The key to less ironing is good hanging. So it pays to take the time to do it right. Start by shaking each item to remove wrinkles, then straighten and smooth each garment as it hangs.
• Give your clothes some wiggle room, if you have any. Leaving a foot or two between each garment on a clothesline reduces drying time.
• Pick a sunny, slightly windy day to dry clothes outdoors. The movement of the wind prevents clothes from stiffening and, if left for a few more hours, can make them noticeably softer.
  
  

USING CLOTHES PINS WELL

• Do not hang bath towels at the corners, as the weight of the fabric will cause the corners to warp and leave unsightly marks. Instead, fold them in half over the string.
• Avoid clothespin marks on the shoulders of your shirts and lighter knits by placing them on hangers with the top button closed.
  
  

SPARKLING WHITE COTTON
One need only visit the southern islands to be impressed by the brilliance of white cotton garments. The secret: lemon juice and sunshine. A few lemon peels slipped in a net in the washer are enough to guarantee a very white laundry. Take advantage of the good weather to dry all the white clothes outside in the sun.

CARE OF COLORED CLOTHES
Before hanging brightly colored garments outside, be sure to put them inside out to avoid fading.

WASH YOUR CLOTHESLINE
Dirty clotheslines make dirty clothes. Once a month, use a cloth to clean your outdoor clotheslines with warm water and a little soap.

MARSEILLE SOAP
The reputation of Marseille soap (made with 72% olive oil) is well established, it is probably the most popular of all the soaps in the world. Extra pure and biodegradable, it has been made the old-fashioned way by hand, in a cauldron, for hundreds of years. There are endless recipes on the web for natural cleansers based on this soap, as much for laundry, home, shaving, etc!

Without palm oil, without animal fat, without perfume, without dye. What else do you want?

For the recipe, it is important to use a real Marseille soap, because regular soaps (with added glycerin) will not allow your laundry to remain liquid.
