    Line drying Climashield

    Hello all.... my question about washing climashield was answered a few months ago. Drying I have a question on. If line dried, should I wring as much water out as I can before hanging out to dry? How long does drying outside take?? I feel like a doof asking these questions but I've never washed my diy quilts. I reckon it's dry when it's dry....just wondered if I hung it up around 9 am if it'd be dry by the late afternoon? Thanks

    For "wringing" I have used the spin part of the rinse cycle of the washing machine i.e. Not the rinse part, just the spin part, then line drying.

    Wow...that was easier than I thought! I bought some of that baby laundry detergent used it to washed the TQ and UQ in the tub. Then I did as DrPhun suggested about using the washers spin cycle to get the bulk of the water out. I hung the stuff out to dry about two hours ago and they're almost dry! And they don't have that funky smell either! So the next time I use my TQ and UQ it will smell like I'm laying in a pile of fresh diapers instead of a hamper of soiled nappys!
