Dryer Or Hang Outside

hi there. where i come from, i benefit from sun. we do not live in buildings. we have the opportunity to hang our clothes in clothesline and have them dried under the sun. nothing smells cleaner than a sun-dried cloth. when i went to another country, i had to live in a flat on a building. during my whole stay, i had to rely on the air circulating from the aircon just get my clothes dry. we cannot hang our clothes outside because it is not allowed.

In our house we use dryer for our clothes but we also hang it to allow air pass through it and for sunlight too. Clothes that are not dried up fully leaves foul smell so we make it a point that though we put it in dryer, we will still hang it to avoid odor

There are plenty of people who do. I cant because of where we live right now, but soon when we move I will. I much prefer my clothes dried on the line. Less energy, natural bleach, and the smell so much better!

Yeah, I dry my clothes outside. When you drive on backroads up here there are some huge clotheslines. Some places, clotheslines are against the law, Ive heard, but not up here.

I still do. I spin-dry my clothes first. It takes out a lot of the excess water from the clothes. My clothes are just a little damp when I take them out of the spinner. I hang them outside to dry. It takes only about an hour for them to get completely dry depending on the weather.

It depends on where you live. If you live in an area where the climate is cold, or cold half of the year you can't really hang your clothes out to dry. But if you live in a warm climate area then I would definitely choose to hang your clothes out to dry. Save money. And I don't know why but sun dried clothes smell better than clothes that have been dried in a dryer. There's lots of chemicals you can add to your clothes, and dryer sheets you can put with them to try and imitate that fresh smell, but they just don't compare.

Depends on what clothes. A lot of clothes I will dry outside just because it's better for the material than to dry it (delicate sweaters, blouses, etc) but mainly I stick with using the dryer. It's quicker, you dont' have to worry about the weather or your crazy neighbors stealing your stuff, and so on.)

that's the normal thing to do here where i live.

Think green. That clothes line works great. Even on cold days if the sun is shining, the clothes dry. Clothes smell fresher as well.

We have both outside and inside clothes line. Normally we hang the clothes outside where the Sun will dry them faster. But if we need to go somewhere or wash the clothes during the night, we will hang them inside. It's easier and safer.

Its really hot here in our country and the electricity rates is really high so I opted with drying clothes outside. Its practical and also gets the job done the same as using dryer.

we use both. we dry them first through the dryer then hang them. but not necessarily outside in the sun. we have clothes line in a room and that's where we hang them.

i hang our clothes outside on the clothing line. i live in a tropical country and i believe that sun dry is better than using dryers. its time consuming.

Absolutely yes during summer season, at least I saved a lot for electricity bills will go crazy if we always dryer. We have clothing line at the back of our place. But during winter there is no way that I can hang the clothes outside. hahaha

Hi, agrant10. My grandmother still dries her clothes out on the clothes line outside. I used to do so too when I was living her with her as well. I have not used the clothes line in about three years now. My husband takes our clothes to the laundromat so they can get dried. I did not really like drying my clothes on the clothes line. Ants used to crawl all over the line and my clothes smelled stale from the outdoor air. I would rather just use the dryer at the laundromat to dry my clothes in.
