I recently unplugged my dryer and stopped using it, but for a dumb reason: I moved it for cleaning, the dryer vent detached itself, and there's not enough space to reattach it without moving the washing machine.<p>Previously I was already line-drying over half of my clothes. Dryers add additional wear, can shrink or deform items, and a lot of my clothing is synthetic or wool. The cost savings was a bonus, since the dryer is already there and fed by gas. There's a drying rack in the corner of my home that just never goes away. Some items come out rough like towels, and things that need ironing with a dryer need even more ironing when line dried. But it's rare that I need an article of clothing that can't wait overnight to be line-dried.
