“What put me off line drying was birds splattering on the washing”
That’s something else I forgot to mention in reply #14. There’s some benefits to line drying but let’s face it, it ain’t 1955 anymore, it’s 2024. As a compromise, shorts and shirts will be dried for 20 minutes on the ‘damp dry’ of the timed drying section on my Maytag DE806, everything else will be dried to completion on the auto dry.
Honestly, damp dry is probably all I’ll need on my DE806 for shorts and shirts since I washed 7 pairs of shorts, dried them on damp dry, pretty much were dry with some dampness. Hung them up to dry the rest of the way and were ready to be put away in a hour or so.
