As soon as I can I use the line outside. Have had one at every house we are in. I use a clothes rack for the skivvies so no one sees them. Have to keep an eye out though, the wind likes to blow the rack over. When I run out of room on the line I throw the towels over the deck railing.

I prefer my bedsheets smelling fresh this way and don't mind the roughness of the towels, even if they crunch as you fold them. It's fun folding jeans, making the boards crack and fold. Kids are not crazy about it, but I like to hang clothes on the line. I also like doing laundry, it was my job as a kid on Sat. and Sun.- I would do 8 or 9 loads before the towels and sheets, there are 9 kids so we had 4 lines.

I hate using the dryer and cringe when the kids throw theirs in it. I also use cold water for my laundry. I try to save $.

Oh- I hang my shirts on plastic hangers outside (be sure to secure the hanger with a clothespin- the wind loves to send them flying). No pinch marks on the bottom of them.
