Line-dry or tumble-dry?
 
I’ll elaborate a little more on the title when I draw up the inevitable poll but I’m just going to ‘let it rhyme’ for now.

Ah hing oot ma washing

Cherie 28-06-2023 03:27 PM

Line dry is the best but sometimes you just have to tumble due to weather conditions :fist:

Cherie 28-06-2023 03:28 PM

Neem killing the planet with her smalls :idc:

Condensing tumble dryer
As soon as you put washing on a line it starts to rain

Crimson Dynamo 28-06-2023 03:32 PM

I like to inform the neighbours that I know exactly when it will rain.

Yeah but you can’t guarantee that the weather’s going to be permissible for it in this part of the world. Even heatwaves like we’ve had this month bring with them roaring thunderstorms. What are you going to do then?

Maybe it’s been different in Ireland but here in England this heatwave’s been 3 parts sunny and one big part rainy as hell.

That’s if you can even get to your line before lightning strikes (I’m talking about it in magnified terms because the heatwave’s brought all sorts of weather extremes our way this month). It can start pissing down within the blink of an eye.

I have a lovely tumble dryer in my kitchen so it goes from the washing machine to the dryer, job done.

I ain’t got time for washing lines and broken pegs

Swan 28-06-2023 03:47 PM

I don't even have a tumble dryer now. If i've hung my washing out and notice after a while it's raining, i just bring it in. Not the end of the world. I know it's for different for families, but when there's just one or two of you there's really no need for a dryer. The electricity they must burn through too?!

The's great if you're home, there's usually no one at home in my house all day so you'd have to take a gamble with Irish weather :laugh:

I’ve got no idea how much it costs but life is to short to be worried about it

Line dry but use a dryer if its raining.

We did not vote Brexit for you to swan off to Spain every other week:fist:

I usually use a line whenever the weather is right. I use https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather and the weather app on my phone to check.

Tumble dryers are pretty expensive to run, about £0.65 for an hour at current prices I think.

Crimson Dynamo 28-06-2023 04:48 PM

https://www.weatherandradar.co.uk/

This is a good rain radar app to use

AnnieK 28-06-2023 04:48 PM

Line....I love the smell of washing thats been line dried.
I don't have a tumble drier and wash most days......it's not been a problem getting it dried and I'm in Manchester :laugh:

Josy 28-06-2023 06:16 PM

I enjoy getting my clothes outside to dry in the good weather and I know most people think the opposite from what I'm going to say but I don't like the smell of them when they dry outside :/ also the spiders creep me out I don't get why those little 8 legged arrogant ****s always have to take up residence on the washing poles :idc:

So I'm in between I guess
