To wonder how anyone gets their washing dry in this weather?

[Unicorn1981]

Boring subject so sorry! But I am genuinely wondering. I did a load about two days ago and I've just had to redo it as it wasn't drying and was starting to smell musty. I have a tumble dryer but it can't be used on everything. The heating is on full blast and it still isn't drying! When it's a nice sunny day I can all my washing including bedding done all in the same day.

I put stuff on an airer (sp?) if it doesn't tumble dry and usually stick stuff in (depending on price) even if it says it doesn't tumble dry and I haven't ruined anything yet!

Dehumidifier and drying racks in the hotpress. Clothes go in at night and dry by the morning. But we have baking hot weather here so no need at the minute which is great. Sorry OP!

Where are you OP? Been lovely summer for 10 days in the northwest?

Clothes horse next to an open window or if you can get a Lakeland heated clothes horse.

Weather been lovely all week in bolton windy today but not cold perfect drying weather🌞⛅

On behalf of The North- welcome to our world.

It's almost always raining where we are but for the past week it's been blue skies, beaming sunshine and a good strong breeze. Perfect.

This thread has made my day : )

Move the the sunny NW OP. We have amazing weather here, I have run out of things to wash....

That is a sentence I never thought I would type!

I was out in my garden yesterday at 8am and it was boiling Enid cooler today but still nice

What can't you tumble dry? There's one wool top I can't and that sits on a radiator.

Couldn't be arsed with the faff of a bloody line. Fuck that.

Lakeland heated airer....

The south east has been bloody miserable for a few days now. Torrential rain. And my heating has even clicked on its so bloody cold!

But in answer to the OP, it must be damp in your house? My washing dries just fine on an ordinary airer sat in the kitchen. Never had a problem with musty clothes.

x2 Nice isn't it? I actually don't like it too hot so today is perfect.

It's gorgeous here so outside currently.

Normally a mixture of tumble dryer and we also have a pulley.

Hang mine above the Aga

We haven't the space for a tumble dryer so we spin dry everything and then put it on the airer. We also have over-radiator airer for things like socks and pants. Wash little loads every day and don't have a day off or else it moves up.

washer dryer.

put it in, 2.5hours later and i put it in the drawers (yes without ironing, screw ironing, i hate it)

mounts up

its gorgeous here for once

It's been 25deg and sunny here since the weekend so we hang it out - which is very rare for Scotland - mil has a heated drying rack thing which looks pretty useful

I only use the tumble dryer if absolutely necessary so no more than a few times a year. I use the line outside as much as possible and have two clothes horses on the go the rest of the time. We also have our heating set on a low thermostat (will only come on if below 17.5 degrees) but none of my washing takes more than two days to dry. I do space it out on the racks so that the air circulates though. House is well ventilated so no dampness.

Yes Enid its lovely the kids sre a lovely healthy colour for once

I tumble dry everything for about 15 mins as it Gets the creases out. Then put on the airer. Or hang up things that are going on hangers

Midlife they are not as expensive as you would think - mine costs £78 a year to run - £1.50 a week to not have to hang damp clothes around the house and also no need to iron doesn't seem excessive to me.

I'm in the Midlands and it has been bucketing it down all week so I am using the T/D. I do line dry if it is nice weather.
