Does fabric softener you use in the washer help to dry clothing more quickly?

I want to start air drying rather than using the dryer so much, but I don't want my clothing to start growing things as it dries :-)Does fabric softener you use in the washer help to dry clothing more quickly?
fabric softener is for clothes that are to be hung outside to dry. It is kind of like a liquid dryer sheet. it helps your clothes from becoming stiff and staticy. plus it smells nice, but that is it. Don't leave you clothes out in the rain, and things wont start growing in them. Also, after you take your clothes off the line from outside they will feel stiff no matter what, throw them in the dryer on low heat for about 5-10 minutes (depends on type of clothes and amount) this will get the stiffness out.Does fabric softener you use in the washer help to dry clothing more quickly?
The lower the humidity in the air the faster your items will dry. When I had a place to line dry I used to in the fall and spring. Where I live the humidity is high most of the summer so I usually used the dryer.





As the others said. Remove the items when it is raining and check on them regularly. I never left anything on the line overnight so dew wasn't an issue for me.
It won't grow things as it dries, silly. Unless you leave the clothes in a mildew ridden basement for a week. If you have a high humidity location you're planning on drying the clothes in, then they will take a long time. However, if the air around you is very dry, then your clothes will dry quickly.
...AND softeners tend to leave a waxy deposit in the fabrics. They will severely reduce the absorbency in towels, bathrobes, teatowels, etc. Air dry these without softeners and toss them in the dryer for a few minutes just to soften them up a bit.
