LINE DRYING LAUNDRY, plus laundry tips and systems that WORK

[@gerardlemoine6594]

This is my first video with you on this channel... after the first 5 minutes of watching you, I started to smile as thought to myself, " Now here is a channel that will eventually have over a million viewers and sponsors! I love the way you are raising these children... Put the computer games down and do your chores! I have a good feeling that these children will grow up to be hard working, honest, respectful, loyal mature "Christian Adults" who will respect their elders and have the ability to deal with all of life's issues without running for their "Safe Spaces!" God Bless you all, and I wish you all the success in your destiny. I also know that you will have a very large viewership real soon as your ability to learn the this new technology!

[@lauralinnell9281]

Hanging laundry is my favorite housework task because it gets me OUTSIDE. The movement of hanging the clothes on the line gets me looking up and noticing how blue the sky is or how fluffy the clouds are, I breathe deeply of the fresh air, I feel the wind on my face. I love it. And the clothes smell so good afterwards. One tip for hanging socks, to make it go faster. I drape a bunch of them on my left shoulder, then I don't have to bend down to retrieve one sock at a time from the basket. I pick one sock at a time off my shoulder with my left hand and then clip it with my right. It's really quick and it saves my back.

[@dorisgrainger9692]

I so agree with you! Winter is ending here and can't wait to start hanging out my laundry again. Nothing like fresh sheets on the bed 👏👏👏

[@glorialautzenhiser5140]

I like to sort socks towels ect before I go out it’s so much faster

[@joryan237]

I’ve just recently found your channel and I’m lovin it. Like you were a large family and I could do laundry on almost every day of the week. I rarely use the dryer unless I’m unwell and there’s not much help about. I love the clothes line. Our power bills are so expensive that dryers are not used at all if we can avoid it.

[@marymarymillidweeb2661]

That's a great idea for the socks! I always have so many socks!

I’ve been hanging laundry out for over 40 years. I had to chuckle at some of those questions. I’ve never had bird poop, ever. There is nothing better than the smell of freshly washed sheets, hung out in the line. Oh, so good. Nothing better!

Hanging out my laundry is my favorite chore. Nothing smells better. Like my granddaughter said when she was 3 years old, "it smells like sunshine." 😊

[@nancyadams146]

I was blessed to have a mother and grandmother who taught me to hang clothes out and the benefits of it. I was kind of shocked so many people had questions. I am 62 and have been hanging out clothes over 50 years I don’t think I have ever had bird poop or bugs be an issue. Crazy how many people thought that would be an issue. I am glad to see that your channel teaches people how to work together and also how economical it can be not to use so much energy. Clothes smell so good and last longer in my opinion when you line dry. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are a pleasure to watch.

[@jhwilliams6550]

In west Texas, I watch out for Haboob storms rolling in quickly, a lot of high winds and dirt. I will check out your clothespins because we have more windy days than still. I had to patch up a comforter after the wind tangled it in the chain link fence. A few years ago, my husband was given metal posts so he made me a new line. It’s been wonderful to get fresh smelling clothes. I also have hard water so I put white vinegar in the rinse dispenser for every load. It helps the towels too.

[@curban616]

I was raised in Ohio, we always hung clothes outside..now that I’m an adult and have lived in Florida most of my adult life I hug all of my clothes outside. Even when the kids were small and we had 3. None of my kids hang clothes outside, but I still do. I love the smell of the clothes when I bring them in! It still makes me smile when I see the clothes moving in the wind!

[@leeannroberts9834]

I always hang my laundry out when weather permits. I have learned so many things from watching your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@courtnez]

"Who lives here and where is their mother!" I had my girls room clean this morning and at the end of the do when my mom came over in the aft, it was already a mess! My mom probably wondered about my homemaking skills lol. I questioned them too ;)

[@GeorgiasGarden]

I love hanging sheets, mattress pads, blankets, quits and comforters outside. We live in Texas. It gets dry so much faster than my dryer. If we have a high pollen day, I just throw each in the dryer on fluff for five minutes. It is great!

[@texassews535]

I loved that video. In today’s day and age, the old fashioned way of doing laundry gets pushed aside. My Grandmother used to hang the clothes outside, and I watched and helped her. She always said the sun bleached her white sheets. They were always white as snow. In her latter years, she had to use the dryer though. She also loved the smell of the outside on the clothes. My Mother hung out the clothes when I was younger and taught me also. When I got older, she just used the dryer. I was an only child so there was never that much laundry. I had to change out of my school clothes, look them over, and either throw them in the dirty clothes hamper or put them on a hanger again. Then I looked over the play clothes and did the same thing. Mom and Ma-Ma taught me how to run a house-hold. I will be forever grateful. I don’t think there was anything I did not know how to do except car maintenance, tires, oil etc. At that age in history, it was “man’s” work. Over the years I learned some of those things though. You are doing a terrific job with your children. They must know what to do when Mom will not be around and how to get on in this world. You deserve a medal. A lot of Mom’s don’t, or can’t, teach their children.

[@Ladythyme]

My admiration for you is beyond bounds. 😊 My mom always hung our clothes…ironed them too - sheets and all… we never even had a dryer. In winter she would hang it in our basement… I agree, although I do have a dryer, I actually do, to this day, still love hanging laundry. 🥰

[@Ago2904]

In Switzerland, I still don‘t use a dryer and line-dry all my laundry, even in the winter😊 love the fresh smell of line dried laundry.

[@amandafriel1865]

Thats a lot of laundry !! lol In NZ most people still use washing lines, we have large rotary lines. When I was a kid we had lines like yours, but we also had a long piece of wood like a skinny post with a notch in it, that way we could put it in the middle of the line to lift it up to stop sheets etc dragging or being eaten by goats lol

[@xglsc6465]

Freeze dried sheets and towels smell so good, and if a little snow gets them it's even better. Even when a load of freeze dried clothes aren't perfectly dry it will take much less time to dry them in the dryer. Line drying is just WONDERFUL. A hint, tshirts that are line dried but are kind of stiff, first cut back on detergent and softeners. Bring them in from the line and toss them in the dryer, no heat, for about 10 minutes.

[@girlwithaplan1680]

Seeing quilts hanging outside is so heart warming!

[@Ruthannzimm]

I agree

[@ima7333]

Here in Indonesia where i live the sun is very strong in the morning. So i got started the night before by soaking some of our heavily stained clothes in hot vinegar water & by sunrise i throw them into the machine & i’m done doing 3 loads of laundry by noon. During rainy days then i ran my dryer and you’re right putting them up in the sun when the sun is strong beats the dryer. When my son was younger, he always helps me w/ laundry. He would bring the laundry in when they’re dried. Now he’s in college, he does his own laundry.

[@lindaleach7954]

I, like you, love to hang laundry outside. The breeze removes the wrinkles, and the fresh air gives the laundry such a clean fragrance to which nothing can compare!!

[@joedixon3373]

Wow, so refreshing to see you line drying the washing. Growing up it was washing by hand and when I was first married. I definitely appreciate my washer now .

[@deannalynne1626]

We always used line posts in the middle of the line to raise the laundry up more off the ground and to keep those end posts from bending like that. Nice job.

[@Ruthannzimm]

Great idea

[@keepmovin3]

My grandmother did that, too. The line is lower and easier to reach, then when the clothes are all hung, prop up the middle of the line with the pole. I found a 7ft piece of bamboo with a string branch at the top, so I didn’t even have to attach a hook or anything.

[@mollypaintscows]

I grew up hanging the laundry outside. My siblings and me would rotate who hangs them up, then who takes them down. It’s a sweet memory.😊

[@pamdepaolo8027]

My tips is homemade laundry soap! Costs pennies and saved tons of money over the years! I also dry in the dryer for about 10 mins then hang up!

[@wizelbee]

Love the smell & feel of laundry dried outside.

[@WillowsGarden]

When my kids where smaller, I always hung my laundry out on the clothes line. Nothing smells as good as line dried linens and clothes that have blowed in the breeze. Have a blessed day!

[@angelaprice3435]

Nothing is better than sun dried sheets

[@reneenewfrock5743]

I LOVE my clothesline! I usually do one load a day. Each person has one full 20' line. They are hung that way so each person can retrieve their own. It's frustrating when lazy kicks in and other household members use the dryer. It's like I can hear the money flying out of the bank directly to the electric company.

[@lorelei9393]

Growing up my mom did clothes and towels Monday Wednesday Friday because we didn't have many changes of clothes. When I went away to college I had enough for a week so i made myself do laundry the same day ever week and it made life so much less stressful

[@erinfraser399]

This is so interesting to me because I'm in New Zealand and I would estimate 90% of households would line dry clothes. It would be weird to move into a house without a washing line outside.

I’ve been hanging out my clothes for years and I love it! I still watched this video because I’ve grown to love your channel. I remember my grandmother had a wringer washer and I had to help her with it. I thought it was fun.

[@Joe-ew5rt]

My grandma always hung her wash. She had 12 kids so it must have been a huge job. Some of my favorite memories are helping grandma with the laundry ( she had a very old wringer washer. She also had a VERY specific way to hang the clothes & linens). One thing I might suggest she also had some sticks that she used to prop up particularly heavy lines. My Grandpa had cut a notch in one end for the clothes line to fit in. It prevented any clothes or sheets from touching the ground. You brought back a lovely memory. Thank you.

[@teresasanders4266]

The rough surface on the line dried towels is my favorite. It exfoliates your skin. Never ever use fabric softener. It coats towels and interferes with absorbing water.

[@deborahvrtis4428]

I almost always washed 1-2 loads a day, folded immediately out of the dryer as I took each piece out. I did have a line drying system much like yours but shorter & more strands. I liked it but when I worked full time I just couldn’t do that. Line dry is #1 best! Clothes smell WONDERFUL & I loved the peacefulness. I’m retired/handicapped & have a small line dryer in our new place, but it’s hard for me to do laundry this way. I’ve never had bird poo on my laundry. On the line itself when no clothes hanging sometimes. ALWAYS bring a wet rag to run along each line to clean them off before you use. Not just poo, bugs but also dirt

[@elainebuchka6533]

❤Loved Hanging Clothes on line when I was able. So many Memories of Hanging Clothes on the line growing up. Back then living in country My Mom never had automatic clothes dryer or washer. Wringer type & line dry. Washboard before that. Rinse tub etc LOVE Your Explanation to the Children of Chores when one isn't there. So Many Young Mother's I wish I could share Your teaching..❤

[@lindagraff2484]

When I was growing g up, my mother taught me how to place things in the basket, in a certain way, to make hanging them up easier and faster. I never minded, oh and we used a wringer washer, she never let me use it though. The fresh bedding was my absolute favorite thing. Made sleeping so nice, smelled so fresh.

[@livingintennessee149]

This is incredibly calming. I finally know that I’m not the only one who does things similarly. I love the speed wash idea and hanging dry. I’m in Tennessee so the clothes would be dry in minutes ! Do you ever offer guided tours of your farm or accept volunteers?😊

We rarely got bird poop on laundry and the only bugs we got was chiggers on the low hanging sheets in the summer.our Victorian ancestors would lay their sheets on the grass to dry because the dun and I think the chlorophyll would whiten them.

[@KerrynS_NZ]

Here in New Zealand line drying is our normal and we typically try to only use dryers when the weather isn't dry enough, even in cities we have smaller lines including a spinning or rotary version. As the lines go slack you can use a very simple moveable stretcher pole on an angle in between fixed posts to lift the line higher for your sheets etc, super helpful for anyone like children or a bit short like myself!

[@reglindiseckhardt9777]

I remember the poles we had cut with a 'V' in the top (saplings we had to cut down) that were used to prop up sagging lines. Often the previous load would be dry before the subsequent load was ready for hanging.

[@dragonslayer7587]

Even though this is an older video, I'm old too, so I thought I'd throw in my 2¢. I used a old Maytag ringer washer with babies and cloth diapers! We didn't have a dryer, so I for 3 seasons, I had couple of long lines from the back porch to a tree, and each day, was diaper day, then on Mondays was work clothes for my husband, and diapers. My clothes got squeezed in when ever I could... I also had to heat the water, double wash the diapers and then rinse. Borax and water was a necessity! The diaper service my grandma bought me for 12 weeks gave the babies a rash, so I didn't use it past 12 weeks... Their poor little bottoms were covered in bag balm to keep all the chemicals off. In the winter, I had racks and could put them by the stove to dry. I remember a few times when I'd fill both lines, grab the kids, and run to the store, and come home to rain, and I'd have to ring them out again, and rehang. Thankfully THAT wasn't very often!

[@deecooper1567]

I was raised this way, sort before washing & hang in the fresh air. So this is how I did it with my family, except the sorting part lol. Clothes smell so Clean. However, moving to the desert with high winds and sand I had to stop hanging them out. The feel of sand on clean clothes wasn’t very nice 😢. I do make my own powdered laundry soap. Two tablespoons per load 👍👍👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

I have just recently discovered your channel and I am really enjoying watching all your videos! I really appreciate your dedication to your family’s nutrition and health. My maternal grandmother used to line dry her laundry. She would hang her laundry on low hanging lines and when the line was full, she had long wooden poles that were forked at one end and she would use the poles to lift the laundry up high away from the ground. I grew up in Southern Ohio which is very hilly and mountainous. Not sure if being in the hills of Appalachia had something to do with “lifting” the laundry up.

[@rir78]

You can use a long pole or long tree branch with a fork on top, prop up your line in the center for extra support and raises your line up, drys clothes faster too.

You might like the hair products at plum natural products in Lebanon Ohio. They have a website and they do ship.

She bought an old farmstead that has a little old barn from 1918 and the original part of the house was built in 1932, there must have been a cabin before they built the house that’s still there 🤷🏼‍♀️ Every time I house sit and do laundry, I imagine all the clothes that have been hung on that line and the people who lived there.

I listened in case I didn’t know it all 😁 Since our Moms are cousins and we have the same background I grew up doing laundry just like your Mom . I use the dryer more now because we have so many days that aren’t good drying days . Hot an humid , too windy or cold an damp . But also plenty good days 😊. Growing up we didn’t have a dryer and had a wringer washer which didn’t get clothes as dry as the modern washers . I remember bringing frozen clothes in an standing them by the wood stove 😅. Or having wash lines strung through the kitchen for the wood stove to dry overnight, we had so much fun playing around the hanging clothes .

[@irishrose2757]

Just discovered and subscribed to your channel and I am learning so much. I would love to have a clothes line, but my husband is hesitant to put poles in the ground ( or to even use a metal umbrella clothes line) because he said he would have to cement the poles in.
