Line dry.

except when raining.


The sun is a natural sanitiser, and helps keep whites bright :thumbsup:

line dry!

the sun is what kills the germs and gets the stains out.

the sun always removes 100% of the poo stains where as drying in the dryer wont.

I don't have a dryer, but using one every day (I have a full load of nappies each morning) seems REALLY excessive and very expensive!

I line dry. It's free, and better at sanitizing and whitening then Napisan :yes:

I usually use the line, but in this weather, I've had to start using the dryer a fair bit.

Line dry as much as possible. If I need nappies dried then I pop them in the dryer.

For me it's not just about sanitising the nappies, but about unnecessary energy consumption. The dryer is not a necessity for me... it's handy to have but I don't rely on it.

I try to line dry, but with the weather in Melb lately it's impossible. So I hang inside, then dry the last bit in the dryer.

Yep I'm the same.

Also if by at the end of the day and the nappies aren't 100% dry from being on the line, I finish them off in the dryer for 10 minutes.

When I was using cloth I used to line dry, the dryer would have been constantly going otherwise...

Dryer for me....we don't have a clothesline, we live in a unit. I do however hang them out all out on a clothes horse once a week so they get the sun out of them. I found that they were getting smelly and this keeps the smells away. But they are dry already when I put them out there, I need them all to get sunned and I'm not going to have a day in sposies once a week.
I have enough nappies that I only wash every 3rd day at the moment so my dryer is only running for nappies twice a day.
I'm a lot more environmentally aware these days so if I wasn't at risk of getting a fine for breaking by-laws they'd be line dryed all the time.
