Is anyone still hanging the washing outside?

[scampadoodle]

I've just hung a load on the line but I'm not sure there's much point. I really miss the line-dried smell if I hang it indoors though, plus I hate having damp washing draped everywhere.

When do you stop hanging outside?

Another old wives tale, but it works= if the path is drying, so will you washing

Yes - it's very windy where we live

Yes, mine is out today- I have an automatic vent in the greenhouse that opens if the air in there gets warm, and even that is open a little bit today- it's positively tropical out there

yep, I have a full line of nappies out today

Like it, jumpingbeans.

Yep - I got a load dry yesterday and another one is well on the way today

Yes for lightweight things like dh's shirts, sheets, tea towels. Other stuff it is very windy.

Have no dryer so not many options! It will go out every day unless it is raining - I hate drying clothes inside.

i like the idea, but in reality, nah, too much agg

just got in from doing it now up in Manchester!

Always put washing out unless actively raining - we don't have a dryer and hate having washing draped about the house all the time. Nappies need a bit of sun on them too...

Got loads dry yesterday, and some on the line today.

Me I have just put out my second lot of washing.

I hang outside all year. Obviously if it is pissing down I don't but otherwise it goes out for as long as possible then gets finished off on the airer. Did 3 loads yesterday, 2 of them dried completely and the third dried on the airer overnight-if I hadn't hung it out it would have taken a couple of days to dry. Have 2 loads out today and both are almost dry.

I find even if it is out on the line for only an hour in cold weather it dries quicker than if it was just on the airer.

oh yes have done four loads old granny that i am

Mine dried pretty well outside yesterday so I have put more out today.

Beware hanging washing out! See my thread here

yup - fine today but needs drying in the drier for a while.

Already dried one load this morning and second load drying nicely

All year round, when possible. Even if they have to finish drying indoors, the airer makes a huge difference.

Hanging it out makes it smell so nice! Even if you are risking a hronet in the drier!

Oh yes, outside whizzing around two dark lol and one bedding.

I'm thinking of getting one of these I realise I might get some looks from neighbours but they all dry lol outside as well so might get some looks too

Jelly

one of my neighbours has one of them.

yes

I hang my washing out sideon the line all year

in the 2.5 years that i have lived in this house i have only EVER dried 5 loads of washing inside...

BUT i have a super high washing line that catches the breeze and the sunshine and dries clothes really really well

in the winter they often need just 1 night in the airing cupboard and then they are bone dry, rather than nearly dry

lizziemun ~ I'd be interested to know if your neighbour finds it any good? Where I am its quite high up so have concerns of it taking off and also I'm wondering how much of a faff it is to peg out with it on.
