Hang It Out to Dry on the Alberto Clothesline
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 07.18.07

We don't get to say this kind of thing very often, but find it particularly apropos: that is one sexy clothesline/drying rack. As we noted awhile back, 75% of the energy consumption of apparel comes from laundering (rather than production or distribution), so avoiding the dryer and using something like this beauty is a great way to cut that number way, way back, and tends to be a lot easier (and effective) during the warm summer months. It looks like it comes apart for easy transport and storage, too...nice.

I wish someone would come up with a good way to get wet clothes from the laundromat to home. That would help a lot with keeping my clothes out of the dryer. Although this product is nice, it doesn't look particularly stable.
