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.Last edited by Darth Penguin; Thu, Mar 1st, 2012 at 06:28 PM. Reason: eta

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.

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.Last edited by KrazE; Thu, Mar 1st, 2012 at 08:42 PM.

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 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).
