How do you get your washing dry in winter?

[~Raven~]

I've got 2 big clotheshorses and I also use all of my chairs including bar stools. I use the chairs mostly overnight though and the warmth from the heater gives them a good helping hand to dry. My favourite trick is to have the clotheshorse in from of a sunny Nth facing window to use free solar energy so it ends up in the boys bedrooms often!

Not really helpful if you dont have big ceilings, we have cathedral ceilings and we have a clothes line that sits close to the roof, we hoist it down to put the clothes on and hoist it back up, and in winter, all the clothes dry quite quickly as we have a wood heater in the room. But we still dont have a washing line outside and it works during summer too!

We have a coonara going night and day in winter so we hang clothes on a couple of clothes horses in the same room as the coonara. I usually do one cycle of the dryer just with the undies, bras and socks in it.

that sounds so awesome!! Kind of what I'd like to do in my laundry but on a smaller scale.

A dryer!

A dryer is no more of a hazard than a washing machine - think about it...electricity and water together. If you were really that worried about it you could just make it a rule that you only run the dryer when you are at home.

Clothes horse too. We too have ducted heating.
I put socks and jocks only in the dryer in winter. Sometimes towels if I want them nice and fluffy
A GF has a Pergola and has put up a clothes line under that, seems to work too especially on the windy wet days.
