Hell HAS Frozen Over! (Clothes On The Line)

Airers

We've used clothes horses for years to dry the non tumble dry stuff in winter - have to say that they seem to leave everything relatively crease free - they do leave a line where the wire on the clothes horse is but if you shake out the laundry they come out pristine and not needing to be ironed - hold the fabric conditioner smell in well too - and gives the same effect an air freshener does to a room.

I've also found using the stairway banisters is great for drying heavier items such as jeans or even duvets - I think the airflow in stair wells must have something to do with airing the laundry much better than normal.

HM,

One of my aunts irons towels, bras and everything else in between, and I do sometimes wonder to myself how she finds the time. Only things I iron are shirts and sometimes polos, and everything else looks fine as long as it's hung or folded promptly and not left in a heap somewhere. Must be working, because nobody can seem to tell the difference.

Jon,

The upstairs landing banister is a great place to dry duvets, usually they're ready to use again within a couple of hours. With the central heating on you can sometimes feel the warm air currents rising up the staircase from underneath the hall ceiling, so in effect I guess it works on the same principle as a drying cabinet.

Cheers,

Kirk

Sun kissed washing....

Nothing beats freshly sun dried washing.... Our local council are trying to make all new developments (units & town houses) install clothes lines spaces. Personally I dont want other people being able to get at my smalls !!!! I have a big timber deck in our courtyard & we manage to get most washing on the Mrs Peggs line...It can easily hold a FULL 7.5kg load from the Fisher & Paykel. it will dry in a day & sometimes I can get two separate loads dried in a day!!
