Airdried laundry
I can't believe clothes-line evoke negative emotions!
Just imagine laundry flapping in the wind on a clothes-line in the garden on a sunny summer's day. (OK, I didn't grow up in Ireland.)
Having grown up in the countryside, getting into a bed that's just been made with clean, stiff, airdried bedclothes is the essence of summer for me.
I hadn't even thought that our neighbours might object to our clothes line in the back garden! Not that we get to use it much, but we have a clothes horse up permanently in our spare room. (IKEA has a large, high, square one that is space efficient.)
We don't store linen in our hot water cupboard, we just put towels and bedclothes in there to get them extra dry before we put them away. Also works great if you need an item of clothing dried overnight.
And how about the fact that tumble driers are really harsh on fabric?
It wears out a lot quicker if it gets tumble dried.
