I don't have a clothes line so I don't know what I would do without a dryer.

We use ours every time. And I think if he's adamant about hanging them to dry then he needs to be the one doing the hanging and taking down!

@Ree723: I think the compromise I would offer to your husband is that he can hang up/take down the clothes when you wash--but if you have to wash while he's at work, then you'll do it your way.

@Ree723: our problem is more that our lot is really shaded. So either we don't get enough sun or we would have a ton of leaves and pollen on our clothes!

I hang stuff to dry in the house but not outside. I live in a semi-tropical city that is way too humid (and polluted!) to line dry outside. But I use a dryer with every load. Just not everything goes into the dryer.

Every time. I'll pull out certain pieces that need to be air-dried, but always, always use the dryer for all loads of laundry!

@mrsjyw: Same here.

I live in an apartment so I don't have a clothesline. We separate clothes into dryer and Non-dryer and just hang the "non dryer" on the clothes rack in the kitchen.

@Ree723: my MIL has that thing and it's great for clothes drying outside! I would line dry more often if we had a garden. Most people here actually don't have dryers. We have one though and I use it most of the time except for things that shouldn't be dryer dried. In the summer, I line dry (inside) just about everything but sheets and towels.

Often! I have to line dry a lot of my regular clothes so they don't shrink. But otherwise, most everything gets dried!

we live in an apartment so no way we could line dry. even if i had the space, i doubt i would line dry except maybe sheets/blankets. and probably rarely too.

One other thing--we had a clothes line growing up, and my mom kind of used the dryer sparingly because she said she just loved the way clothes smell/feel after drying outside--but I HATE it. The clothes are always stiff and they always smell like grass/outside smell. And the summers I lived in Vietnam and Argentina and line dried my clothes in urban areas (on rooftops), they smelled like pollution. And they are slightly more wrinkly when they are line dried.

Yucks. I just don't get the appeal, or maybe I was always doing it wrong.

We use the dryer every time we wash clothes save for the items that should not go in the dryer. Those items are put on hangers and hung to dry in the laundry room.

I use the dryer every time! I don't have time to line dry! I don't even have time to put the clothes away most of the time

Anything that shouldn't be dried in the dryer comes out; everything else goes in the dryer (90%). We don't have a yard, so can't really line dry outside, and even if we could, probably wouldn't because DH has really horrific seasonal allergies.

I have a drying rack in the laundry room for my cloth diapers but we use the dryer for everything else. It would have never even occurred to me to line dry things. Nobody does that here at all (south east US)

Every time! We don't have a clothes line and I don't have anywhere to put one if I did want one.

@Ree723: I have one of those, in the US! I love it, because it's a lot easier than dealing with a cord across your yard. I find that Europeans def. have the mentality of not using the dryer, much more so than Americans!

I only do laundry on the weekends, so I have a lot to dry all at one time. In the summer, mostly june-sept, I line dry, it takes me two full days to do the wash.

I line dry diapers, denim, bras and swaddles. Everything else goes in the drier.
