I hang clothes inside my garage. I don't like drying my sweaters or nice things I don't want to shrink but prefer to hang them inside the garage so I don't have to worry about birds  ;D or bad weather  ::)

No, we don't have a clothes line in our yard.  We let ours dry in the basement.

Living in the city, I would never hang my clothes outside to dry.  Too much dirty wind blowing, birds flying and poop dropping.  Just too much flying around in the air.  Now if I lived in the country, that is completely different, because you don't have all the cars blowing dust and other carcinogens in the air.

It is possible but I rarely do it because I find it ruins the quality of my clothes.  I only use the line for towels.

im able to have a clothes line where i live but i would rather hang them up to dry inside my place coz it's more dirty outside and well the pollution will get to ur clothes making them actually dirty when i think they are clean.

I would love to hang my clothes outside to dry in the summer, but we live less than a mile from the Mississippi River and have a near-by pig farm....needless to say my clothes end up smelling pretty bad.

I have plenty of room (25+ acres) but I prefer the softness and freshness of the dryer.
Have a wonderful day!

Yes, I hang clothes on the line usually in late spring and in the summer to save on energy bills.

I used to hang clothes out to dry, but the county I live in won't allow it anymore.  I guess I will have to move to the country and get out of the city. :crybaby2:

Yes, I am fortunate enough to have a line outside. I prefer hanging clothes outside versus an electric dryer. You don't have to worry about high electric bills, or the shrinking of your clothes. I think they also feel better and don't irritate my skin as much without all the perfume from dryer sheets.

When I'm in the United States I don't hang up my clothes out to dry but when I'm in Puerto Rico, absolutely. There's nothing better than that nice warm sun and breeze drying up your clothes.

I do hang clothes outside to dry during summer and when it's really nice.
I'm from Japan so hanging clothes outside is very common. Most houses still don't have clothes dryers. Even though my mom has one (she lives in Japan), she never uses it and hangs clothes outside all 4 seasons. I just got a little americanized and use dryer.
