Potential for Stiffness in Towels and Sheets
While line drying can leave your clothes smelling fresh and feeling soft, certain items like towels and sheets can become stiff when dried outdoors. The natural fibers of towels tend to lose their plushness when exposed to the sun and wind. This can result in towels that feel rough or scratchy rather than soft and absorbent. To combat this, you can remove your towels from the line as soon as they are dry, or use a fabric softener in the wash to keep them feeling soft after drying.
