Extreme method of saving money – Line Dry Clothes

How much does it cost to dry a load of clothes? It costs an average of about $0.30 – $0.40 per load to dry a load of clothes with an electric dryer. If you have a gas dryer then you will spend about $0.15 to $0.20 per load. It may sounds a little old fashioned but for those extreme money savers this is a great option.

Just because I say line dry doesn’t mean you have to put up an old fashioned clothes line in the back yard. They make in home clothes drying systems that allow you to hang your clothes up to dry in the laundry room instead of using the dryer for every load.

Use this method to dry items such as t-shirts, and other thin material clothing. These items usually don’t require excessive drying anyway so hanging them up to dry won’t take forever. If you do a load of laundry every day try to line dry 2 of those per week. You’ll save about $1100 over the course of your 30 year mortgage. Line dry all your clothes and you’ll save a small fortune.
