The Potential for Clothes to Fade
While sunlight can be beneficial in many ways, it also has a downside when it comes to line drying. Overexposure to the sun’s UV rays can cause certain fabrics, particularly darker colors, to fade more quickly. Clothes made of cotton and other natural fibers are particularly prone to this issue. To minimize fading, it’s best to dry clothes in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun’s rays are less intense. You can also hang clothes inside-out to protect the colors and keep your wardrobe looking fresh longer.
