Do you hang your clothes outside your house now that it is summer time?

Well, I know that most people in the Philippines used to dry their clothes outside or in the porch.. but here in US.. not all people can do that all the time because of the weather conditions. thanks for sharing.

that makes sense ;) where the weather is nicer! I am sure in florida they do that all the time . The only time here is summer and maybe spring . fall has some nice weather , but would take forever to dry . in the summer it is less than an hr on some hot hot days !

My auntie live there in Pensacola Florida

did I read it right? you are hanging your clothes outside during WINTER? does it dry? LOL am just wondering.. anyway.... thanks for sharing..

In my own apartment, we have an iron frame for hanging clothes to get them dry either in the sun or in the wind. So you read it right. lol

Oh, I must make it clearer for you. I mean, outside our big living room window, we have a big iron frame with a cover for hanging clothes, so we don't have to worry about heavy rain. I guess it makes some sense to you now. hehe.

You stay in the united states and the sun is so severe.I heard it is always a chilled or cool place.Could you tell me the temperature there.

Oh yes, I can relate to that because I come from the country where the heat of the sun is so severe, no need of dryer in drying our clothes just hand it under the sun and it's done/

You said exactly what I was going to say! I have a clothesline outside under cover so that rain never gets on the clothes. But if it is cold and wet, they dry better inside. I would never even consider owning a clothes dryer! I am never that desperate to get clothes dry!

Now that's a good attitude!:D

Well, when I was yet in my country, I never have a dryer.. but when I come to the US, it is hard not having one specially during winter. Yup,, I would love to dry my clothes outside to minimize electricity specially now that it is summer time here.

Oh!!! I would be frustrated too if I lkive in that kind of environment..Maybe the best thing for you to do is make a clothesline inside your house.. heheh so that people will not frown at you because they can't see your hangings.. and about the plants, you can use cans and put it on your back porch...

Good idea with the plants... though I don't see much point in hanging clothes inside. I actually had to do that for awhile when my dryer broke. I washed a load in the washer every nigh and hung the laundry on the backs of chairs. Every morning anything that was dried all the way got put away, if it wasn't... it just had to sit out another night. Man, those were some tough times.

Really? for what reason you hang your clothes outside after using the dryer?

My mother told me that it smells better. :D

I live in a manufactured housing community, and the association rules for our place state that we cannot line dry clothes outside of our houses. It really stinks.

Oh really? where are you living now? that is awful when we are not allowed to hang our clothes outside. I think when you are living in a condo? or hotel you can not do that.

Yes, we become habitual in hanging our clothes and allow them to dry, even if we have alredy dried them in washing machine dryer. Actually, we want to show to others how many different clothes we have and we always wash our clothes.

hahah correct!! when we are use to that habit of using the dryer? we are so lazy to hang our clothes one by one. But in the country where dryer is not necessary because it's too hot all the time, their habit is also hanging their clothes piece by piece outside or some of them as what the responder here said, they hang it in the fence or on top of the plants.. LOL

Oh!! that is a good idea!! I never thought that..put in the dryer for few minutes before haning them? NEAT!!

Hey Bebs, I put the jeans in the dryer after I hang them out. It really helps get the stiffness out of the jeans. It only take 3-5 minutes in the dryer to get them soft.

That's right!! I miss that thing.. drying the clothes under the sun.

Yes, drying by air is not that good as dried by the sun. I have no choice to hang it inside and use electric fan sometimes. I did not see someone who put their clothes in the porch here,mostly hang beside their house window.

Oh wow!! that's interesting!! using electric fan to dry your clothes? well, I have seen some people tying their clothesline in their front porch. the hanged their clothes not under the sun but in their porch. It works too because the air would help drying it.

We always hang our clothes outside to save electricity. We only use dryer if it is raining outside we don't have a choice if we want to dry our clothes fast. So the clothes would not smell like mold. The smell of the clothes is different when you let it dry it on the sun. I'm the one who do our laundry I hate when it is raining. Right now I never expected that it is going to rain so I hanged our washed clothes outside than suddenly it is raining so I need to rush outside to get our clothes immediately.

Well, I used to dry my clothes outside when I was yet in my country... I don't have dryer and in there, dryer is not a necessity because the sun is always hot.. but here in US? everybody is in a hurry all the time amd it takes time to hang the clothes one by one.. and besides summer time is here and it's too hot.. I want to dry my clothes outside but not under the sun.. just let the hot air dry it..

Oh!! I can relate to that becaue I come from the country where we only have 2 seasons. What we did is just hang our clothes inside the house... and or never wash when the rain is too heavy for the day.

Oh, may I just ask where you are originally from? I do agree with you. If we can, we will certainly take out our clothes to dry during the sunny weather. However, both of us are working, and if my mum-in-law did not come over to help us to take out the clothes, we can only dry them inside of our home. That's because it may be sunny in the morning when we go out, but it may then rain heavily suddenly in the afternoon. We do not want to put the clothes at a risk of being wet again, so we usually will only put the clothes out to dry during the weekends when we are home.

Oh that is awful!! I understand what you are saying.,.. yes.. there are lots of people who will just pick the clothes they want in your clothesline, neighbors and passers by.. well, it happens anywhere but not in my place now becauwe we have no neighbors.. hahaha.. Maybe you just put clothesline inside your house? or maybe in the back porch if it is closed.

The clothes line is in the back and we have a garden no porch. No she does it to be spiteful. I would particully like one in my house so Ill just stick to the tumble dryer

Well, obviously!! no body will dry their clothes under the rain right?? hahahah... but when it is suymmer time specially here in US. some people do hang their clothes under the sun to minimize electiricty consumption..

Ok, that's neat!!! When I was in the Philippines too, I never use dryer to dry my clothes. I always hang them.. outside or inside the house depending upon the weather.

yes, I aGREE the jeans.. feels good when they are dried under the sun..

Correct!! saving energy is helpful in our bills. So during summer time here in US.. people used to dry clothes outside instead of using the dryer.

that's right everybody wants to have a soft and smells good laundry... thanks for sharing.

Oh yes, and it can help us cut our electric bills when we stop using our dryer for this during summer.
