Line drying laundry

[momof5boys]

I love hanging laundry on the line outside....but seem to be the only one for blocks around. I know some subdivisions won't even allow clotheslines....

So who else hangs laundry out?

[BCSparkyGirl]

I plan on setting up a line this year.......NOTHING beats the smell of line dries sheets.

I do in the warmer months, though I have seen people hang their laundry out at -20C round here...

eta I use the air fluff setting for 5 mins on my drier for towels to take away that scratchy feeling.

I do too! I don't have a line yet but a folding maiden that I drag out to the deck. Even in the winter will set it up in the family room when the fire is roaring.

I hung my laundry out on the line once around 30 years ago - took my jeans off the line and put them on, and something bit me in the arse - I haven't hung laundry out since.

Same kinda thing happened to my DH. Only it was a bee in his underwear! No more line drying!

When I lived in the country I had a massive clothesline... that was until the two youngest (7 & 8 at the time) decided to try using it as a repel line......

There was no fixing it because the pole away from the house was about 30+ft up & I didn't have a ladder that long.

Clotheslines are not allowed out where I am now, not even one of those umbrella ones.

I have always...for about May to October...I love seeing the hydro bill go way down

The main reason I hang laundry out as well....sure makes a difference!

I pity our neighbours.... A neighbourhood cat likes it though. It gives her some cool shade in summer.

Nice winter this year, have been using the cloths line almost every week, great way to cut down on the hydro bill.

I live in an apartment. The laundry machines are expensive here, so I always hang my clothes to dry. I hang them inside during the winter and on the balcony during the summer.

I love the smell of freshly dried laundry hung outside...been doing it for ages.

[Natalka]

I do - we have a nice long line in the backyard, which goes up into the sky (seems like!).

Nothing beats getting into a bed with sunshiney sheets and covers!

Ditto! When I was a kid, something crawled out of my fresh off the line shirt and up my neck. I f-l-i-p-p-e-d out. To this day I'm still not sure what it was, maybe a centipede. Made my mother promise she'd never hang my clothes on the line again. She promised and 25 years later I've never used anything but the dryer since (unless I hang a heavy item up inside the house to air dry).
