Isn’t it nice to dry washing outside now it’s warm? How do you dry washing when it gets cold? Tumbke drier and clothes horse?

Oh Im dreading not being able to dry outdoors! No room for tumble dryers and heated aircrews so winter laundry means two normal airers and me constantly worrying about mould and damp!

I still put it out when it's cold, if it's dry and ideally a bit of a breeze. It doesn't get fully dry but enough to get that outdoor-dried smell. Then I bring it in to finish off on the clothes airer.

Never had a tumble drier.

I enjoy being able to dry my washing outdoors. We don't have a tumble dryer but do have a heated airer. It can't do any sort of volume so I either do small items only or a few adult clothing items.

I’ve got a heated airer and a regular airer that I use. Don’t have a tumble dryer anymore
