Hanging Clothes in the Winter

RE: Hanging Clothes in the Winter By Willem (Guest Post) I hang everything outside in winter. In summer, I hang everything that may fade, inside on hangers. I sew loops on all the clothing that needs to be hung this way. I bought a steel hook/hanger that fits over the door to hang clothes on. When it rains in summer, I hang everything that should have gone outside, in the laundry on a metal rack. We have dry winters in Pretoria with sunshine, so washing dries easily. In summer, we hace extremely hot days, so unless it also rains, washing dries within two hours' time.

Sure, they are dripping wet and its a little messy, but if you hang them up (pants upside down), when they dry, they will be completely wrinkle-free. I also use fabric softner diluted in a spray bottle to freshen clothes and remove wrinkles.

First, I don't have a basement. I hang clothes in my bedroom. When I hang clothes inside to dry, it takes 24 hours in the winter, and that's only if I have the ceiling fan on high all day. Also, mildew grows on the walls nearby. When I hang clothes outside, it takes only one or two hours to dry (unless it starts raining), which is wonderful. But they don't smell "fresh" to me; they smell like dogs that have just come in from playing outside. (No, I and my neighbors do not have dogs. Maybe other people think dogs smell fresh.)

My dryer has very little usage. There was a small line in the basement already so I use that as well as small plastic folding clothes hangers. They fold up and fit under the work station when not in use. I also find the plastic tube hangers with the little hooks are great for hanging nightgowns or anything that has loops. And during the nicer weather, I had a pulley line installed in my backyard. Using both the basement and outside has cut my electric bill by over 40%. Also, it helps cut down on wear and tear on clothes and towels. I love the fresh smell when they are hung outside.

When we bring clothes up from the basement (our good clothes) we hang them in the bathroom and this helps put moisture in the house also. Posted on 01/26/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
