Only drawback is possible mildew for the heavier fabrics that take forever, maybe. And incipient storm clouds bum rushing in to ruin everything.

Brings back memories of when we had a clothes line. Also makes me recall the clothes line was attached to a tree and we'd have to shake the clothes out to make sure none of those nasty bugs with the pincers(we called them earwigs) were in them.

Or a bird flying by and bombing your clothes.

Here, other than the time it takes to hang 'em up and take 'em down, it's faster than an electric dryer. Especially if running a swamp cooler.

Inside or out, I always hand my jeans. I like the scratchy feel of a fresh, line-dried towel.

The dryer is harder on your clothing than even the washer is.

The sun fades colors but also will remove stains. Usually the stain fades quicker than the fabric dye.

Hanging clothes out is the best! They smell so good when you take them down!

 

[Fata Morgana]

I always dry mine on the clothesline.

The sun's UV rays actually kill mold and mildew spores.

Some neighborhoods have covenants that prohibit clothes lines. How stupid is that?

edit: fucking auto-correct.

I use my outdoors clothes line always in the spring, summer, and early/mid fall. And I have an inside one for winter. The clothes don't smell as fresh, but I hate using the dryer. I like going through the motions of hanging clothes.

Seen that rule. Gotta be the most superficial snobbish rule ever!

Next thing you know they will be saying no scrap refrigerators or cars on the front lawn.

Line drying works well!

There is something calming about hanging clothes on a line.

I feel that way about hand-washing dishes.

Where was enjoying doing a fair amount of hand-washing of clothing as well but now that I'm back up to a full-strength wardrobe, it is impractical.

I love it when a parody thread takes off so well.

I find most repetitive tasks calming. Picking fruit or vegetables is a "just is" task.
It can't be rushed or you ruin the fruit or the vines. It gives a body time to reflect.

I think it's better for clothes than using a dryer. We get no mildew line drying and if makes whites whiter.

I think the only draw back is in fact that dryers help Remove pet hair in pet owning homes.
Kind driedclothes smell better. Lookbetter, last longer and are more evo friendly. We have a covered porch we use to dry on a clothes airer in rain in mild or warm weather because the dryer is my last resort

H's mother and I want a clothes line; except in winter, it's way better imo, and saves a ton on electricity and carbon footprinting!

always used a washing line in the UK except in winter or in the rain. and someone in those pics doesn't know the correct way to hang their washing! they're gonna end up with all peg-marks in the shoulders of their garments

Am I the only one who hangs the shirts upside down instead of at the shoulder?

with jersey fabrics/cottons such as those tops, or heavy jumpers, i hang the top of them over the line, and peg at the armpit juncture... prevents unsightly stretch and marks on the shoulders. normal cotton shirts and stuff, upside down, at the side seams and one on mid-tail if necessary. i HATE ironing, and it's always worked best for me.

Bingo! All that stuff you folks said.

Those would be the HOAs with their thumbs up their asses trying to dictate rules with total disregard to the freedoms that comes with owning a home. Like, paying property and school taxes isn't enough for home owners? People actually pay for that type abuse.

Never really thought of it that way, but your right.
