I have been looking for a clothes pin bag and Bob keeps telling me that the reason why I cant find one is because no one hangs their clothes out anymore...I say they do...DO YOU?
-
I would if I had a clothesline. When we moved into our current neighborhood, we were informed that no one hangs out their laundry because a farm borders our back yards and farm odors get in your clothes. Frankly, I like the smell of a farm, but I don't want to smell like one myself.
-
Yes at times. I love the breezy smell of clothes hung out to dry.
-
Of course. You're saving wear and tear on your clothes, they smell better and you're saving energy. How much better of an excuse is there for doing it than that??? :rainbow:
I have a little clothesline that I can put up anytime and put away when I'm done. It's like a Christmas tree that goes round and round when the breeze hits it. I'm not sure what you mean by a clothesline bag, however. Can you clarify? If you search online, you can find most anything, you know.

A bag to hang on the line to put your clothes pins in....I found some on Amazon but they want 25.00 dollars for it ugh

My mom hangs our clothes out everyday on nice days. A lot of people do where we live.
-
No I don't hang out clothing. I used to but haven't in years.
-
I just got a clothes pin bag at Walmart, in the laundry section. Just a plain zippered mesh laundry bag. Around 3 bucks

We hang our clothes out as long as weather permits! In fact, with the season change here in Ohio, we are looking forward to saving money and having the wonderful smell of clothesline dried clothes. You can buy clothespins online if you have to, but when I was buying replacements last year - I found them at the Dollar General, Hobby Lobby (any craft store), Big Lots, Walmart and the local grocery store - Acme Fresh Market! Your clothes will smell great, it is good for the environment, it helps pinch pennies by not using the dryer and saving your clothes from the extra wear-and-tear of the drying process. Good luck with your clothespin search.

I live in Florida so it's warm enough to do it most of the year. I'd much rather hang my clothes outside and they all be dry within a hour then having to worry about waiting for one load to finish to reload the dryer.
-
I do in the summer when the wind is not blowing dust. Nothing smells better then sheets hung outside. Some things I no longer hang outside as I do not like to iron. But the sheets, underclothes and towels go out in the summer. Clear up till it goes to freezing. It is too cold then for me to hang stuff out. Had to do that as a kid. The clothes froze dry. And oh the ironing then.
-
Nope, dryer
-
I don't hang my clothes outside on a line but I do have an indoor drying rack I use for certain items. It's not as nice as having a great breeze dry your clothes but it does the job and helps save the clothes and an extra run on the dryer.
-
As a kid we almost always hung out our clothes in good weather .. now a days the dryer is my best friend. LOL

Wow, this topic brings back memories of when i first rented my first apartment. I had washed my clothes at the laundromat and brought them home and hung them to dry on my clothes line. I lived in the Bronx on the first floor but my clothesline was at the kitchen window which was towards the back of the building. the super lived in the basement apartment so my clothesline seemed like it was located on the second floor. Anyways, i hung up my jeans and shirts one late afternoon, went and hung out with my friends ( i was 20 at the time) came home to change clothes for the saturday night hangout and to my surprise my clothes were gone. :-X I cant repeat what i said at that moment but i quickly learned my lesson by drying my clothes at the laundromat. What gets me is that when i went down towards the basement i found 2 broomstick handles ducktaped together and that must be how then knocked my clothes off the line. Of course nobody seen or heard anything. I laugh about it now but i remember walking around my neighborhood scanning people down trying to notice if they were wearing my clothes but to no such luck.

I have always hung out my clothes outside or on a clotheshorse in the house,i dont have a dryer and never intended to get one,hydro is gwtting too expensive up here in Canada as well and its just me so i dont really need a dryer.
-
No, wear we live it's against the law, cannot do that.
-
I do sometimes. It saves money and keeps your clothes looking newer longer. Keeps them from fading.
-
yes sometimes i do not get them completely dry when they come out of the drier so, i just let them air dry if they are only a little bit wet.
-
Yes I do still hang out my clothes why use the dryer in the summer when mother nature does it for free.
-
No we only use the dryer and haven't hang our clothes since we were little.
-
I don't hang them outside to dry because there's just too many bugs where I live lol. I just hang them up in the house where there's room.
-
Hanging your clothes makes them last longer. They also seem a lot fresher by having the sun radiate on them
-
No way. I think it is cool and I remember being outside in the warm sun watching my mom hang out clothes. But I am not in good enough health to do it. So I dry everything in the dryer.
-
I don't have a reason to since I have a dryer in my apartment. :)
-
I hang my clothes in the bathroom to dry. Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless everyone and keep you safe. :)
-
There are a lot of stores that stock clothes pins. I don't use them because I would never hang my clothes out in the City.
-
I don't hang my clothes out, but I used to do that. You can't beat the natural, fresh scent of hanging clothes. It could very well be that fewer and fewer people do it now. And that may very well be why you're having difficulty finding what you're looking for.
-
I have a dryer but I didn't mind hanging clothes when I didn't. Try the dollar stores for clothes pin. Walmart should have some too in the home isle. Hope this helps!
-
I live less than a mile from the ocean so on really windy days I don't hang out any clothes to dry.. (salty clothes aren't ideal lol) But on the good days I line dry clothes that can't go in the dryer outside instead of inside.

I use to hang my clothes out but the pollen is so bad, settles on everything and it works my allergies, now I throw everything in the dryer. When I visit the country I see lots of clothes hanging out.
