Why do you hang your washing outside when it always ends up smelling like damp?

Apart from the obvious cost savings compared to using a tumble dryer, I don’t understand why people hang their washing outside because no matter what I do, mine always ends up smelling damp and completely unpleasant!

You need to run a clean rinse through your washer

Mine smells lovely when it's been outside. Perhaps your washing machine is broken.
