Drying washing- bright ideas needed

8 replies

I find myself with a load of washed baby clothes but I have no access to the dryer. I do have a sunny back garden and washing line but no pegs or airer. Dont ask!! Any bright ideas? Obvious work around that I'm missing? Itll all be sorted out tonight but a basket of wet clothes and a sunny garden is annoying me 🤣

Use spare hangers hooked on the line for as much as you can and just drape the rest of it over the line and it will be dry in about an hour in this weather.

Edge of the washing basket is good for little vests and tiny leggings too.

Also vests can be popped up on the line

Clip the vests over the line using their poppers. Other things hang on coat hangers and put on the line.

got any string or cord? Fold in half and twist it. Tie each end to the line. The clothes tuck into the twists.

Loosely tie the arms or legs round the line or just drape.

Hangers!! Genius - thank you. I knew there was a way but my sleep deprived brain couldn't think of it

Use anything like a chair, basket or even a broom handle propped on boxes/tins/bottles to make a line of sorts. Even a towel on the grass will do. Just lay the clothes out flat. They will soon dry in this heat. A table would work as well.
