Coloured laundry isn't dried outside as the sun is strong enough to start bleaching colours, so your favorite red t-shirt would be a lovely shade of pale pink after half a dozen line dries.

I agree with the sun fading coloureds, but doesn't it do that when they wear them outdoors?

I can't quite get my head round not drying coloured t-shirts outside as the sun will fade them, My kids used to watch a couple of aussie soaps and it clear from them that the sun doesn't shine all the time.

I could understand not hanging them out in strong sunlight, but not never hanging them out.

Then again, the cast of neighbours often stand out side talking in the rain and pretend it's not raining, so maybe they are just wierd.
