Excellent! I enjoy your sense of humor, too.

Thank you so much! :D

Our condo won’t allow us to line dry our clothes on our terrace, so we hang them up to dry inside. We put an extra shower rod in the guest bathroom & hung some clip hangers in the other guest bathroom. We also purchased solar panels to drastically reduce our electric bill. We pay less than $2 U.S. every 2 months for electricity. I use the air fluff for the stiff stuff like towels.

That's really clever! It is good to hear that you were able to get around the restrictions. How do you deal with the dampness from the clothes in the extra bathroom?

[@RUT812]

@@Organizing-TV I only hang clothes in those bathrooms when there are no guests. The bathrooms aren’t damp.

Line drying in December-January-February is more challenging than during the summer.

[@Organizing-TV]

For sure! It is an entirely different game. I did make a video about it last year if you are interested in seeing my take on it

Occasionally, I don’t mind hanging laundry outside in the rain, but only if it’s like sunny, and then it rains and then it clears again (because that happens a lot in New York, where I live) especially in the summer. I mean I know when to hang laundry outside because I was originally from the UK. Also I usually get a lot of wind during the winter going into spring. As for hanging, I hang my jeans and my football shorts differently. Also I don’t like to hang my underwear on extremely windy days, because I don’t want that to blow into my neighbour’s yard

Love line drying, nothing like the feeling of saving money on your dryer. Only problem is... it's never sunny in the UK

[@Organizing-TV]

Hahaha I know the struggle!

I peg jeans from the hems, 2 pegs each, then the heavier, wetter part gets blown about more. I peg tee shirts from under the arms so no visible peg marks 😁.

[@UnikumMitsubishi]

what would you do if your weren’t hanging the jeans?

[@AbrahamLure]

In Australian summer our clothes get dried to a powdery, sun bleached crisp! I only hang out whites and bedding outdoors once it starts to get hot :(

[@Organizing-TV]

Wow really? That's pretty intense. When I've stayed in hot climates in the past, I usually dried mine on the balcony for a few hours and then they were done and nice and warm :)

I use metal pegs which so far have lasted for years

Great tip! Thanks for sharing :)
