Is it safe to dry towels outside???

Question

is it safe to dry bath towels outside on a wall or is that unhygenic?

Answer 1

The sun original solar dryer.  I hang  clothes outside and have for years.

Answer 2

Only if the wall is clean. If the wall is dirty or dusty a wet towel might take wipe the dirt off the wall. Just hose it off or something.

Answer 3

it is safe because when put it in the dryer the smell of the towel  is unscented

Answer 4

I dry my towels, shirts, pants, undies, nightgowns and bed linens outdoors on a CLOTHESLINE!  So, YES, it is SAFE to dry your things outside in fresh air and sunshine!  Sheesh!  In fact, the sun has natural germ killing properties.  Hanging them on a wall?  Since I have no clue as to what the wall is made of, what condition it is in or how clean it might be, I can't say.  If its like my walls here at my house, I would put most ANYTHING on them I suppose, if given no other choice in hanging them somewhere.  But honestly, how hard is it to set up one of those folding wood racks, or a clothesline?  Its not that hard.  I am appalled at how many people find hanging laundry outside to dry a dirty, germ filled process and have no clue what their dryers, cling free sheets, and perfumed sheets are doing to their laundry and their environment.  What is wrong with fresh laundry, dried in God's own air and sunshine?    I assure you my laundry is clean, SPOTLESS, and smells fresher than any sheet of plastic you throw in your dryer.  Oh, and my electric bill, is about $50 less than yours just for walking outside and hanging my laundry!  Now I am not saying you can't use your dryer EVER, but lets be real, you can use that outside dryer way more than you are.  And for the one who thinks drying outside is a minging germ filled experience, you need to have cleaner quarters, I am concerned for you and your "fry the earth for my comfort" mindset.  You have been fooled into thinking that outside air dried clothes is dirty business by corporate companies trying to sell you perfumed detergents and fabric sheets.  What is wrong with SIMPLY NATURAL CLEAN SMELLING laundry?  So darling, hang your stuff outside on something clean, a little rope strung up will do wonders, or a simple little wooden rack.  Hope this helps you!  Good luck!

Answer 5

You should probably buy a towel rack that you can take outside and let the sun dry the towels with it's heat and also to kill existing germs that are still left.

Hope this helps!!!!!

Answer 6

O M G !!!!

Do you people really use dryers all the time ?  No wonder the planet has turned power hungry.

Use a simple washing line - with pegs to hold the washing on - or is that too quaint and old fashioned ?

Traditionally people used to dry their washing hung over hedges. This will also add fragrance from the flowers that are in the hedge (before people got paranoid over hedges with no other flowers in there)

Cal me a local hic if you like but I prefer my clothers to smell of clean fresh air rather than manufactured fragrances of what someone thinks clean air should smell of !

Answer 7

i dont know if it safe but i sure wouldnt use a towel after it air dryed outside

Answer 8

Umm... It would be a better idea to hang them on a wire or something that would have less germs and such...  But if the wall isnt dusty it should be fine.
