The best way to dry clothes in the sun
When drying clothes in the sun you often need a rope or wire tide on poles and dozens of clips to keep them from flying away in the wind.
Clips often made of plastic don't last long in hot weather countries. The sun soon makes the plastic brittle it just breaks into pieces. Even ropes made of plastic do not last long. I do not know if this is a phenomenon of the third world countries like mine (India) where only substandard things are brought into the market by the goods suppliers. Most other products are. Whatever is the case the fact just remains that clips do not last. Even wooden clips are no different.
Now the prices of clips keep soaring each year as if it is to maintain quality of the product, which by any way is sub-standard. The breaking away of such substandard items keeps increasing the plastic waste produced in the country.
Though wires are a good substitute for plastic ropes and may last longer, people living in tropical areas with space only on their terraces for drying clothes often avoid using them. The reason being the thunder and lightning. Their experiences often keep them from using metal object on top of the roofs. Plastic ropes are a natural substitute though using them is accepting a sub-standard living.
I chanced upon idea today that can help avoid the use of clips altogether. What's more, it's even easier to dry the clothes.
Instead of one rope or wire, use two. Intertwine them a bit for name sake. Now, when you line up your clothes in the sun use alternate wires for each alternate clothe you dry. They stay in place, full-length unaltered by wind and it's even easy to flip to expose the inner side to the sun. When you flip the clothe stays on the other intertwined wire or rope that you have used.
I believe, this is a lot of stress free drying of you clothes while helping to reduce plastic waste.
