Not true. I used to live in a VERY small studio, and I still washed one load of clothing at a time and hung everything. I hung the shirts and pants on hangers from the shower curtain rod, and I hung everything else on a foldable rack that compacted quite nicely. Now I live in a big place so I have TWO drying racks!

I'm a clothes-whore, so I remember that, while using a dryer seems more convenient, it also wears out my clothes much faster. In addition, it's better for the environment!

driers are a luxury in El Salvador, everybody hangs their clothes to dry...

I've always liked hanging clothes to dry although it takes more time. This spring the vent got some holes in the dryer vent due to some kittens in the laundry room, so I unplugged the dryer and told my almost 20 year old step son that clothes need to be hung on the line. He wasn't happy about it, but he always dried his clothes on high.

DH tells me of the days his mom would hang sheets in the winter in upstate NY. How he'd jump into his icicle sheets at night. LOL He may be reliving his childhood this winter. LOL
