line dry

Reader's Digest 12/1月合併号の記事 'New Rukes of Laundry' からの引用です。

New Rule #6: Try to line dry, at least sometimes.
...(中略)
You might have time to hang up every load of your wash. But you may want to consider line-drying some of your things as a goal to shoot for. It'll save energy and your clothes, plus they'll smell like sunshine.

"line-drying" の意味は文脈から容易に分かりますが、"line-drying/line-dry" を辞書で探しましたが、Wiktionaryにだけ　"line-dry" の項目があり、次の説明がありました。
line-dry: To dry on a clothesline.


日本語では洗濯竿はよく使われますが、洗濯綱/洗濯紐は聞いたことがありませんね。西洋では竹がない（？）ので "clothesline" が使われるのですね。
