A little off-topic; just curious. Does anyone air-dry their clothes on a drying rack indoors and a line outdoors in summer? I've done this for about thirty years and find that the clothes are stiffer that way and without a static charge. The only reason I keep a dryer in the house is for when we have folks staying at our place long-term, in thinking that they would sort of expect a dryer to be there.

Maybe it's a North American thing too. I've noticed in Europe that no one seems to use a dryer for clothes, everyone air-dries their clothes, perhaps to keep energy costs down.
