The clothes line can be put up in your laundry room or bathroom, but the best use of such a laundry line is putting it up outside in the open air. There is nothing that beats air drying your clothes. First of all this lends a freshness to your clothes that no chemical or artificial way can match. The sun can work wonder on your clothes giving it a natural aroma that is most pleasant.
