AMERICANS REACT TO THINGS AUSTRALIANS DO THAT CONFUSE THE WORLD

It is much healthier to air dry your clothes. Sunlight also kills bacteria.

[@steveheywood9428]

Agreed.

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

Cheaper & Enviro' too 👍

[@jamussmyth1612]

Absolutely. And surely they have “wrinkle free” clothes in America? On another point, I’m pretty sure heat (like from a clothes dryer) also would kill bacteria. However, for some reason the clothes dryer tends to leave your clothes a bit “moist” if you don’t have the timing absolutely spot on. Besides, there is also that nice “fresh air” smell when you hang them out on the line.

Hung a massive load of laundry out yesterday and half an hour later it was completely bone dry 👍 so saved myself a bit of money and my clothes were drier quicker plus electricity is so much more expensive here too so have to be more careful with how it's used

[@grandy2875]

Exactly!! You can tell the difference between sheets done in the dryer and sheets done on the line...☺️ that fresh warm smell when you get the washing off the line on a hot summer day is soooo nice. On an absolute scorcher, I used to try and see how many loads I could get on and off before I either ran out of day or ran out of line space. On a really good day I could do one on one off,,, get that first load out and on the line, then see if it was ready to come in before the second load went out...as I got older and less ambulant, it slowed down to 2 or 3 on before I started bringing it in...I miss being physically able to get out to the hoist to hang my washing... these days everything goes in the dryer and if it's not dryable it doesn't get purchased in the first place 😏 🙃🐨🇦🇺
