My family hangs out clothes but just because we have bad luck with dryers always breaking. :D But it does cut down on power and we use to do it even when we had a dryer every now and then.

I use to help my grandma do that when I was a kid but since I've been grown no.

Nope, I live in a gated neighborhood and that sort of thing is prohibited (as they say it makes the neighborhood look tacky) so I use the dryer. It is energy efficient though

I used to, but not anymore. I don't like the smell it gets...honestly don't know if there is pollution out there.

       No, I cannot do it where I live because it is an apartment...and there is no place outside the building. It is not allowed where I live. However, I use my shower curtain rod and place my garments in hangers...and hang them there. I place them in the dryer for a little while. I pull them out while they are still wet because I do not want them to shrink!

I have actually NEVER hung my clothes outside to dry. My mom does during the summer though.

When it is nice out side I hang some out on line but usally I try my white clothes and just hang up my top in garage.   I work and it is easier just to do that as I work and am not at home in day time.  It could come up a rain and then I would have to wash them over again.

Never do this anymore but now that you've reminded me I may start doing it especially since the weather is getting warmer.

it is permitted here but it rains a lot here so I don't do it, the clothes will smell great if I do but  really don't
maybe I am too lazy to do it

Yes, I hang out laundry all the time when the weather permits. We have lines in our basement, but still use our dryer. I would like to get rid of it and put the money in the bank.  :)

Right now I live in a Condo complex and line drying is not permitted and I really have no room but I have a dryer rack that I will use in the warmer months I just dry the smaller things I love the fresh smell that comes with drying clothes outside on a line brings back memories of when I lived at home my Mom hung out every thing :thumbsup:

No, I put them in the dryer and set the dial to "normal" and push the start button.
