What is the secret to actually getting your washing DRIED on the washing line?

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

Because it’s never dry when I bring it in. Except for maybe one day in July.

It’s always damp meaning I have to put it in the tumble drier for at least half an hour which shrinks it or I have to hang it on airers and turn the dehumidifier on which I might as well just do in the first place and leave it on longer to save hanging twice.

So what it is the secret?

No-one's mentioned it.....A CLOTHES PROP, helps to catch the wind - surprised how many lines I see without one.

Well mine actually dried today and yesterday. I live in Kent so hardly tropical!

Oh I have one mirada.

Santa...why aren't the men in your life doing this kind of work ?

I dunt understand this at all

I never have a problem getting my stuff dry - and my garden is NE facing.

Straight line, washing pole (do you have one of those op? Lifts everything higher = important). I've put a fair few loads of today and most of it is dry.

Mind you, I do have one of those pulley things and I bung it all on there to finish off, just in case there are some damp bits. Completely out of the way, divine washing smell wafting all over the house.

I'm an avid weather forecast watcher, mind. BBC site is almost always very accurate within minutes.

Always use a clothes prop.

Do you have a good long prop? Or even better, two?

Basically every bit that you can get above the walls, do so.

I've no idea apart from that 1 hot windy sunny day when I can get more than 1 load washed and dried in the same day. We got a tumble dryer a month ago and my life has been transformed, no washing hanging around the house for 2 days.

It is a long extendable one and takes the line up as much as it will stretch.
