Will drying my dipes outside in the sun ruin them?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I use FB and BG 3.0's on ds and I FINALLY got dh to put up a clothesline and I LOVE drying my dipes on it.....The sun seems to take care of all my stink problems.

We live in FL so 95% of the time they get dried directly by the sun...not just the breeze and whatnot....Will the UV rays damage my pocket dipes? Should I maybe just dry them on the line every other time?

I don't know how well the PUL would hold up with long-term sun exposure. Could you hang dry the "pockets" indoors on a rack or something (they would dry quickly in any case, with the material they're made of), and dry the inserts (which is the absorbent part anyway, and would take longer indoors or in the dryer) on the line?

I've never heard of anyone having a problem with this. Lots of people dry their dipes in the sun! It's great for stink and stains and saving energy!

I love line drying here in sunny SoCal! I haven't seen any damage other than a random bird poop that hit one of my Goodmamas, grrr!

I've never heard of anyone having any problems with the sun - I'm not in as warm of a climate as you, but I hang my dipes all summer long with no problems!
