Answer 1

You can try putting clothes on hangers hung from the shower rod so water drips into the tub.  Also, you can buy drying racks pretty cheaply at most retail stores.

My husband and I live on a farm in the desert.  I do use the dryer, and vent the heat and moisture into the house, because it works in this particular environment.  However we have many wool articles of clothing.  My clothes rack is currently loaded with three wool shirts and about 40 pairs wool socks.

This is the one I use (the largest heavy duty model) :

I keep ours near our wood stove.  Works great, and holds a suprising amount of laundry.  If you have any sort of breeze, from a ceiling fan, or box fan, the clothes dry really fast (no heat needed).

Here are a couple of other items as well (I do not use these products):

Lehman's is where the Amish shop.  You really cannot beat them for finding items that do not require electricity to use, or all natural "green" ways of doing things.

I love the Lehman's catalog, and buy stuff for our farm all the time from them.

At last someone who says where they are from... I am surprised anyone hangs their clothes outside in N America at all... this is exciting news (I'm expat living in UK where absolutely the majority dry them outside - despite the rain!) The hanger is a very good idea, especiall yif you don't want to iron shirts etc. Also in the UK we have airing cupboards. Thi sis basically the water heater system (hot water tank) in a cupboard. that say heats up 2x/day and clothes will dry in a 1- 1 1/2 days. Or a clothes maiden - a metal rack that folds see http://www.answerbag.co.uk/q_view/534455 - put near the heater.

Answer 5

I have a portable folding clothes rack that I use to hang clothes on.  I take the clothes out of the washer, shake them out, then hang them on plastic "tube" hangers - then hang on the rack. As long as there is a space between each item, everything usually dries in a day.   Over my bathtub I use a piece of PVC pipe, cut to the almost the same length as the bathtub.  Great for drip drying, or drying clothes on those tube hangers again.There are 2 brackets that hold the PVC in place that are open at the top, so it can be moved when the PVC isn't in use.

My family never uses the dryer at our house. We use the dryer to just put things on top of. What we do during winter is just hang clothes on plastic hanger around the house. The pole in our bath tube is very useful, or on door k***s. During the summer, we have a long wire outside connected to our house and a pine tree and hang stuff on but with you're looking for a way without trees you can buy temporary clothes and put them outside and hang clothes. You can buy cheap ones! Or you can go yo places like Bed  Bath and Beyond and purhase one of these

Answer 7

Clotheslines either in the house or outside are your best option if you want to use zero energy. You could just switch to a front-loading washer since they wring out so much water the clothes dry in a quarter the time in a regular dryer. They'd tend to dry faster on a clothesline too so it's a good choice either way.

Drying outdoors is only a good option if the weather permits, in some locales it's too humid or the air is too dirty to make it viable. If you have a deck or railing, laying them over the railing can help since the railing acts as a heat sink and will speed things up, just be sure the clothes don't blow away and get dirty again.
