Drying washing outside

Emmacw

I line dry throughout winter, checking the weather forecast first of course! I usually put it out around 6.30am and often not bringing it in until after 6pm. Yes, its not dry but I then re-hang it indoors on my airer and it is all dry by the morning. If I purely dry indoors then it takes at least 2 days to dry so definitely worth half-drying outside even if you cannot bring it in before the dew descends.

I have even hung washing out when there's been a heavy frost all over the washing line:eek:

Less creases, less condensation and a nicer smell to my washing.:j

i line washing in the garden when i can,but its worth exploring wether you have any other under cover areas you can string a washing line up.
we'd been at our hse for 6yrs b4 it dawned on me that i could use one of those retactable lines under my open porch area.
washing gets any breeze,but unless its raining horizontally:eek:(i do live on the edge of dartmoor!!) doesnt get affected by the rain.
friend also has a retactable line in her shed,she just leaves the door to shed open for airflow(shes got nowt else in her shed,except for kids bucket and spades,so security isnt an issue)

I always try and put mine out and give it a blow then i put it on the clothes horse or finish off the towels on a 10 mins in the dryer. I will keep putting it out until it gets very cold, although once i left some jeans on the line years ago and they stood up in the kitchen when i got them in was so funny !:eek:

keep looking at the website www.raintoday.co.uk

It is very very accurate and you can see if and when you will have rain within the following few hours. I thought it was so good after testing it, that I paid for the premium service and now I`ll know if snow is coming in winter or just rain. That one is free
