Do you use a clothes dryer or the clothes line?

My laziness usually wins out too. In the winter I like to run the dryer because it heats the house up a bit and I am a miser when it comes to using the furnace. But in the summer I really hate bees and I swear they wait out at the clothesline for me, so I usually end up running the dryer then too.

My dryer is with my washing machine in the outside laundry, so it would make no difference to me.

We rarely get nice days here in Ireland, but on those nice days I will hang out woolens and silks. Everything else either goes into the clothes dryer, regardless of the weather, or on the radiators. I always take the bed linen to the laundry as I don't like ironing sheets.

I put my sheets in a pillow case and store them all together.

I use the clothes dryer all the time, as it takes too long to hang them on the line.
If I am not using the dryer, I use the clothes airer as some things cannot go in the dryer, such as certain shirts, etc.
I hung two jackets on the line today, but put them on coat hangers so I could take them off easily.
I work all day, every day, so it is usually dark when I get home anyway, and I don't have time to hang them on the line in the mornings, so the dryer is so much easier.
I don't think of it as lazy to use the dryer, just the right thing to do for my situation.

I use a dryer but before having the dogs I would hang clothes out on the line...now that we have the dogs though its really not a good idea to have nice clean fresh clothes out there knownign that they'll pull them down and carry them around the yrd LOL

I sold my tumble dryer when we moved 4 years ago and have not missed it. I love my washing to be put out on the line but of course in Winter months use the clothes airer. The sheets are usually the biggest problem but seem to manage quite well.

I always use the dryer. I don't have a line, and it is too much work that way.

I really don't have an outside clothes line. In fact I have tons of laundry to do, and tons to put away. I have a clothes line inside, in my basement.

I must admit I am guilty of using the clothes dryer a lot, I use to put it on the line, by the time I got home from work, I would forget it was on the line, 3 days later I would remember (when I ran out of clothes), & have to rewash them anyway. If I want my husband to do washing he will only put them through the dryer, but I do rescue some items & put them on hangers & hang in the bathroom or shower cubical.
