☀️ Sun-kissed cloth diaper inserts?
Line drying your cloth diaper inserts is a great way to save some energy costs and take advantage of natural sun-bleaching. 🌿💨
Pros:
-Natural Sun Bleaching
- Energy Cost Savings
- Extended Lifespan of Textiles
Line drying textiles can significantly extend their lifespan by avoiding the heat and tumbling action of a dryer, which can wear down fibers faster. The high temperatures and mechanical agitation in dryers can weaken, shrink, or snap fabric fibers, leading to increased lint and pilling, and making clothes look older quicker.
But what are the cons?
- Longer Dry Time
- Bugs
- Stiffer Fabrics
Line drying can take a long time. Especially in cooler climates or indoors during winter months. You may attract some bugs — but they can be shaken or brushed off. Line dried textiles tend to be stiffer than machine dried fabrics. If you find that your textiles are stiff, a quick fluff in the dryer and help soften them up.
