Softer Line Dried Clothing

Do you line dry your laundry only to discover when it's dried out that it needs ironing? Try putting 1/3 cup of vinegar in the washer. Vinegar will take the soap residue out of the laundry and your laundry will be lots softer.

Although I don't line dry anything... mainly because my dogs would have a field day tearing my clean laundry apart... I've been amazed how soft my clothes get when I use vinegar in the rinse cycle. I add a bit to the wash cycle too, as an odor-fighter. I soak the clothes for about an hour by just stopping the cycle and starting it again when I'm ready.

I love to hang clothes on the line. How do I get them to feel like they came out of the dryer and not so hard after coming off the clothes line?


I like the feel of linen shirts that have dried in a clothes dryer with fabric softener. But to save money, I dry them on an outdoor clothes line.


If your clothes are stiff when line dried try this. Hang your clothes out in the late evening and leave over night. Bring them in as soon as they are dry in the morning. They will be so soft.
