When was the last time you saw someone using a clothesline to dry clothes?

Half my neighborhood still does.

I hung my clothes on a line last week. Stayed in a country where they don't have dryers.

Last Thursday, my back yard.
On bright sunny days, most cottons and poly clothes and sheets dry faster on a clothes line than a dryer. Jeans and towels last longer line dried than being tossed by a dryer, and dryers don't destroy buttons and elastic.

Smog is just as good as starch i hear

we use one every time we do laundry

We have one and use it regularly

We had one growing up and whenever the dryer went out we pivoted immediately and never missed a beat.

Best smelling clothes ever!

I still dry the occasional shirt outside.

Haven't hung clothes on a line in decades but sure remember the fresh smell of sheets and pillowcases that were dried on a line.

Towels tended to dry a little stiff and felt like they could take some skin off if used too aggressively.

Jeans and Khakis were hung on the line after the metal crease makers were shoved down the legs and expanded to form the crease in them. They tended to dry a bit stiff too.


I do have a neighbor behind me that still has a clothesline in the back yard and they will sometimes hang stuff to dry.
