Washing and neighbours

To think it’s strange my neighbours never ever hang out their washing? Lovely day here but regardless they never hang their washing out?

Lots of people have hayfever and drying washing outside makes it worse.
I also do my washing at night so dry it on the heated airer or dryer.

I don't even know if my neighbours have washing lines. Do you sit watching ? Maybe they hang clothes out when you're not playing I spy. Or maybe they have a drier.

Yes, I sit home watching 😂

We haven't even got a washing line.

DH took it down years ago because we don't hang washing out. It looks untidy and ends up needing to be ironed. No thanks.

We either hang washing up on the airer or tumble dry it.

HTH

Why use the tumble dryer when it is a lovely day, seems weird to me!

Err, see my post above.

There’s nothing like drying outdoors when you’re able to

I find this odd. If you have a garden and are capable of hanging it out then I don't know why you'd choose to spend £1 tumble drying it.

I love the smell of line dried laundry. I hang mine out throughout the year. Though this last year has been particularly rubbish with all the rain!!

QuitMoaning · 29/06/2024 12:17

I don’t hang outside as I am always out and about so risk it raining. We have a heated airer inside that we use all the time with occasional tumble dryer when urgent.

Severe hayfever here, would much rather hang my washing out but I like being able to see and breathe.

Maverickess · 29/06/2024 12:14

Don't hang mine out very often because I live near a fast food place and if it's not in by the time they start cooking it smells. I work shifts so not always home to get it in. And with the exception of last week it's pissed it down on every day off I've had.

LaurieFairyCake · 29/06/2024 12:13

I've never hung washing out in 30 years and I've always had a garden

(Heated airer/tumble dryer)

I don't hang mine out.
My daughter will sometimes do it for my dresses after my hols.
But dresses l hang on hangers in spare bedroom on curtain pole with window open.
Everything else in tumbler.. but I'm disabled.

TisTheSummerSeason · 29/06/2024 12:08

YABU. We never hang washing out. We tumble dry everything.

MonsteraMama · 29/06/2024 12:08

Tumble dryers exist. HTH.

Mine never use their garden at all, for anything.
