Sunshine Helps Kill Germs Indoors

YMMV - it may be different closer to the equator, but in the great lakes I don't have an issue. The brightest colors and most delicate fabrics are hung inside or in shade. With a medium washer spin speed there's very little wear on the clothes.

In contrast, my experience with the dryer is clothes and up looking threadbare and worn from a high heat dryer. Just look at how quickly the lint trap fills up.

I’ve found most wear on clothes comes from people who only used timed washes on high heat

I wash my clothes and dry them according to type with automatic settings which end the cycle early if the clothes are dry before the full cycle is complete

On the flip side when I lived in a place where dying clothes outside was the norm there was no avoiding sun bleached clothes unless you dryer your clothes at night (which only partially worked because it was a tropical climate)
