Cons
On the downside, not everyone has a large yard conducive to constructing a clothesline. Small or nonexistent yards can make it difficult to put up a clothesline capable of drying your clothing. In addition, many homes are built in areas that have very restrictive building codes. This means the color of your home, clothesline, and even the state of your garage (open or closed) is strictly regulated.
Solution
The good news is even if you live where there is no yard at all or the most restrictive codes you can employ one of the many urban clotheslines on the market. These products offer you the option of having a retractable clothesline, indoor clothesline or even ceiling mounted dryers.
Conclusion
There are many good reasons to air dry your clothing. You will save money on energy bills, have fresh smelling clothes and they will last longer to boot! Check out the many options available from Hills clotheslines which is a leading retailer of all kinds of urban clotheslines. They offer great warranties and will ship units in the USA and Canada.

Tips
When using a clothes line of any type you want to keep these few tips in mind to maximize efficiency. Store clothespins in a bag inside, rusty clothespins are not conducive to clean laundry and if you are using an inside clothesline open a window or too to maximize airflow.
