If you wash your clothes and hang them on the line
afterwards how do you get lint and all off of them if you don't put them in the dryer? Is there something you can put in the washer that will help?

Yes, there is, it's called Downy. Don't use it if you have a septic tank. If your washer has a lint screen, make sure it's clean. Do you use soap powder? What you're seeing may be undissolved soap. Stick to the liquid.

Thanks I use either one. I just buy it and put it in..thaks so much for the tip.

You could also try one of those little sticky lint roller things after your clothes are dry. It's a godsend, especially for when I'm visiting my grandmother who has a hairy, hairy dog.

clean out the lint catcher in the washing machine. that should also help.
catty, how have you been able to keep track of all those loads of laundry! that´s amazing! but kind of depresses me to think of what´s ahead of me...

Thanks for the tip ..I will look for a lint trap in the washer but, I know for sure the dryer has one..
