Maybe you’ve only seen them in older movies. However, clothes lines are definitely a thing of the future. With hard economic times combined with people wanting a greener environment, clothes lines are the perfect option. Not only can you save money but there are many added benefits to using Mother Nature to dry your laundry. Fresher smelling. There’s nothing like laundry dried outdoors in the sunshine.
