The Impact on Fabric Durability
Line drying can be gentler on fabrics compared to tumble drying, which can cause wear and tear over time. However, outdoor drying on a clothesline can have some drawbacks for fabric durability. Prolonged exposure to the sun and wind can weaken fibers, particularly if the clothes are left out for too long. This can cause fabrics to become brittle, which may lead to fraying or tearing. To preserve your clothes’ longevity, it’s important not to leave them outside for extended periods of time and to take them down when they are dry.
