Do you hang out laundry?
« on: March 01, 2016, 02:21:17 pm »
When I was younger I remember all the neighbors hung laundry all the time.  Now it's really rare you see laundry hanging on lines.

     Yes! I remember the old way to dry clothing by hanging out laundry in suburbia. If you live in a city or town with clean air, that is the best way to finish your laundry.

when I was growing up we always had clothes on the line. The one thing I really miss about that is sheets and towels being hung out on the line I miss the fresh smell and the feel of them. :rose: :rose: :peace: :wave:

I hang my bed clothes on our porch / deck because our dryer is too small for them. I have pretty big comforters.

I need the rope and a good clothes line you don't see often really haven't shopped for one. I don't like the fade of the clothes have shade though. I have seen the monster inside me show, and hangout clothes was in that show, and I never knew why you ironed the bed sheets and iron your clothes when really they were not wrinkled, and now I know so think of that.

I do not hang my laundry out.  I don't have any clotheslines outside or I would hang sheets out to dry.  Other items, I like the fluffiness that the dryer provides.

We always hung everything out when we were kids.....Mom had 4 lines that were very long and the lines were loaded since there were 7 kids to keep laundry up behind!

No I do not, but if I had a clothes line I would probably hang out stuff during the summertime only.

My family still hangs our clothes outside in the backyard. It's way better than putting them in the dryer and lets the clothes last longer

I don't usually hang it out in the wintertime, but in the spring and summer I hang out all the laundry I don't want to put in a dryer plus sheets and pillowcases. I love the smell of freshly outdoor-dried sheets and pillowcases on my bed at night which is why I do that.

no don't hang out laundry.sometimes it gets so hot in my garage in the summer I kind of lay out clothes over the washing machine and they get a head start on drying. When I did hang out clothes the towels felt terrible.

No, but wish I could sometimes. I remember visiting  my late Grandparents when I was a child ad they always hung clothes on the line, they had such a fresh smell to them. But now, we all basically use cloth dryers, if I lived in a house instead of a condo I would have a clothe line! in addition to the dryer.
