One exception is towels which I take to the laundromat. For sheets I give a good shake, and use a clip hanger. I clip one side and then loop the other side and clip it as well. The sheets usually dry faster than the clothes :)

Can someone please tell me why you want soft towels and then buy those scratchy things to scrub with in the shower?

And have you noticed how sweatshirts, including hoodies, shrink in the drier?

The Tibbe-Line is multi-functional in that it not only can be used to air dry clothes on an already existing clothesline but also can be made into a PORTABLE CLOTHESLINE, that can be used at home or taken with you, use it just about any where (camping, traveling, vacationing etc.) HANGERS ARE USED INSTEAD OF CLOTHESPINS AND YOU CAN HANG 21 PIECES OF CLOTHES IN THE SPACE OF 39″. To make a portable clothesline simply (1) attach a length of rope, twine, cord or bungee from point A to point B (go to my website at (WWW.TIBBELINE.COM) to see portable clothesline shown between 2 trees), (2) slip the Tibbe-Lines onthe rope or bungee, (3) hang clothes on hangers and (4) slip hanger on Tibbe-Lines.

You can use a clothes dryer, but it is not necessary.

This is how I do my laundry: I wash a load of clothes, put the whole load in the dryer for 5 to 15 minutes, take the whole load out of the dryer, shake each article of clothing and hanag on hanger, then hang on Tibbe-Line. (THE TIBBE-LINES CAN BE USED INDOORS/OUTDOORS) And while my laundry is air drying, I am free to do something else and because the clothes are already on hangers I just have to bring them in the house.

The Tibbe-Lines can also be used to transport clothing in a vehicle: Slip a Tibbe-Line on a 10″ or 11″ bungee, hang clothes on hangers, slip hanger onto Tibbe-Line and hang vertically on clip provided in vehicle. The Tibb-Line can also be used as a space saver in a closet (home, camper, motorhome, college dorms) GOOD FOR SMALL SPACES. They can be especially useful for people in wheelchairs, giving them easier access to their clothes in the closet. To make a space saving closet extension: attach a 24″or 36″ bungee on the closet rod, (bungee will hang vertically, slip on a Tibbe-Line, put clothes on Tibbe-Lines. The clothes will then hang down lower in the closet, giving easier access to clothes.

I have cut my laundry time by more thanhalf as well as cutting down on my electricity consumption and my electric bill has gone down as well. So every time I use the Tibbe-Lines I save time, space, money, energy, our environment as well as adding longevity to my clothes.

Due to the state of our economics and environment, people are looking for ways to save money, time and help to keep our environment from deteriorating any more than it already has.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to call or email me 719-544-7673 or http://WWW.TIBBELINE.COM

This make financial & environment sense as well as being quite fun on a nice day. I have done this for over 30 years, as have all my friends. have not found clothes have faded – more likely to shrink in a dryer. However when the weather is bad just use a dryer. COMMON SENSE is all that’s needed. In the UK most people use an umbrella style dryer, you can always put clothes likely to fade in the centre if you want to.

In the UK even people living in quite up market properties use a washing line. No one thinks anything of it. In the pretigious Times newspaper a person asked for advice about an “annoying” neighbour who hung out washing in front of house. The complainer was accused of being the annoying one – in these days of global warming they should shut up a put up!!
