Thread: Front load dryer struggles

You hang up one to many thongs and bam,, new rules abound!,!

My wife was taught to hang the underwear on the inside lines of the clothes line so they couldn't be seen.

This post shows how boring my life is...

Rh Temperature 'F Area in my house

29.1 63.3 Basement

26.4 67.4 Dining room first floor

25.6 66.4 My bedroom on the second floor

73.1 34.0 Outside at the moment


I will now have to check this on a cold day!

As a general rule of thumb 20'f warmer air can hold twice as much moisture so.

100% RH at 50'F would be 50% RH if warmed up to 70'F.

I guess Im too much of a city boy as I dont think I have ever worn clothes that were dried on a line.
I do remember seeing an old washing machine with a ringer on the back patio of my grandmothers house. I was told it was how she used to wash clothes when my mother was a child in that house.

All kidding aside my mom got her first Maytag Washer around 1950. In those days they sold extractors to eliminate the water besides those rollers on the washer. Clothes were hung out to dry. They used to burn garbage where I lived so you avoided hanging out the clothes on those days.

Yup. I remember my Mom using a wringer washer and putting the clothes out to air dry. The clothes line came in to the back porch through a small door so you did not have to go outside to hang them. There was even a clothes was washboard in the basement and it also got used.

Before I came to Canada my clothes were always hung on the line outside, it was a rotary line.

We didn't have a dryer, I don't think many in the UK do because our washing machines are in the kitchen.

I think the washing always smelled fresh after drying outside but we can't do it here because we have a lot of trees and even more birds that definitely aren't fussy wear they go.

Those anti social birds even make washing the car into a challenge.

We dry our clothes indoors on indoor clothes drying racks for the most part. No problems with hanging out our underwear, risking to strangle neighbors, dodging bird poop, or other horrors associated with the great outdoors.

Racks like these:

My Aunt had a rack like that and it worked fine until the dog got into the room it was in and had his way with the clothes. As I remember he especially loved the panties.

I would need a minimum of 4 of those racks to do one load of laundry.
