Clothes Drying Rack - An Easy Way To Air Out Savings
I’ve found that using a simple clothes drying rack is an easy way to save money on electricity expenses. I purchased one a few years ago because our clothes dryer was taking too long to dry all the towels. At first I thought it would be a hassle to dry my clothes this way but I’ve found the opposite is true. I brainstormed a list of savings we’ve realized from using the clothes drying rack.
Electricity Savings – The first change I saw in my family’s life after I started using a clothes drying rack was the drop in our monthly electrical bill. Who knew that such a little change would reap such instant rewards? And, since we’re not using that electricity, I get to enjoy the knowledge that some electrical plant somewhere had to do a little less work.
Other Utility Savings – Besides not having to power the dryer to finish our laundry, we were also able to realize some savings since we didn’t have to adjust our AC to compensate for the dryer’s effects. In the summer, we don’t have to run the air conditioner as much to combat the heat put out by the dryer.
Dryer Accessories – Now, I know we’ve talked about the many different uses for dryer sheets, but I don’t think we would miss them if we didn’t have to buy them for the dryer. I am able to stretch a box of these sheets even further by not actually running the dryer.
Clothing Savings – Although this benefit doesn’t really help the environment much, it does help our pocketbook. Drying your clothes through a dryer is actually pretty hard on your clothes. Air drying on a rack is gentler. It helps your clothes retain their shape, and you don’t have to replace them as often.
