speaking of laundry, do you hang any laundry out to dry?

Question

i do from time to time specially the sheets, i just love how they feel and smell after drying outside. just something about it.

Answer 1

I hang all beaded or all cotton shirts to air dry .
All comforters, jackets, sneakers, and some special undergarments. So about 30-40% of my clothes- Gee never realized that before.

My husband stains his shirts alot and if you put them in the dryer the stain is set, so I often need to rewash/scrub clothes. I sound so "old fashioned" huh?!

I have a large back yard, yet mostly hang them in my kitchen.
My neighbors actually complained of a laundry line, GEE- I have 6' fences and only two neighbors. Deed restrictions suck.

When I go to my parents house in the country, We let the whole house & car air out and the sheets, blankets and everything over the weekend (smells incredible- not perfume like). My shoulders are killing me after I'm done! ha ha. We sit on the pourch and just watch the dog chasing the clothes that get away and just chill out. Its a relaxing, lazy feeling to watch the wind blow and gauging the puffy clouds over head..

Answer 2

I live in the clean country (no city soot) and hang laundry out all of the time - so long as it is not raining or sleeting or snowing, out it goes. Doesn't matter how cold it is outside, it will dry if there is a breeze and/or some sunshine.

I refuse to pay the electric company any more money than absolutely necessary :-)

Plus, I love the smell and feel of clothes that are dried on the line outside.

Answer 3

Yes I do. I don't hang everything though. I just hang the stuff that will shrink. I can't hang the sheets in the winter. I have to hang the stuff on the line in the laundry room and the sheets are just too much. They get tossed in the dryer in the winter.

You are a lucky duck . I have been trying for 41 years to get my husband to build me a sturdy frame for a clothes line. I love the way sheets smell when they are air dried.

Yes, of course. After doing that, I used to stare at the sky for black clouds in case it is going to rain. It is usually the case that when I put out my laundry, the sky just show its darken face. Did you experience that before?
