NATIONAL HANG OUT DAY
History & Sweepstakes Rules

NATIONAL HANGING OUT DAY Each year on April 19th, Project Laundry List works with hundreds of other organizations to sponsor National Hanging Out Day. This day encourages communities to learn about the benefits, both financially and environmentally, of using a clothesline for drying laundry. According to Project Laundry Lists’ website, clothes dryers account for an astonishing six to ten percent of residential energy consumption. Hanging your clothes out has several benefits:
  • Good for the environment.
  • Saves you money
  • Is therapeutic because being outdoors in the fresh air has benefits to your health
  • Clothes dried on a clothesline have a natural freshness
  • Encourages us to slow down 
HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalHangingOutDay Have you ever hung your clothes out to dry? Some people even consider sleeping in sun-dried sheets a luxury. Reap the benefits of hanging out. Spend the day hanging a new clothesline and conserving energy. Then, celebrate the day by hanging out your clothes to dry and sharing your pictures on social media using #NationalHangingOutDay.

NATIONAL HANGING OUT DAY HISTORY Since 1995, Project Laundry List along with several other organizations have sponsored National Hanging Out Day. Project Laundry List is a New Hampshire-based group encouraging outdoor drying of clothes, “making air-drying laundry and cold-water washing acceptable and desirable as simple and effective ways to save energy,” as quoted from their mission statement.
