Who Else Likes Doing Laundry in the Warm Weather?

Ask a Question

Anyone else likes doing the laundry 🧺 ?!

I mean when hanging them outside in the warmer weather and finally there’s the sun ⛅️ coming out! You get so happy 🥹😅🤣🤭 knowing that your clothes will dry without having to hang them up on racks to dry or use the damn dryer!! ✌🏻

Ah the little things we enjoy 😉 in life have changed as you get older!

MelissaLee1 yes it’s an effort to damn hang all clothes outside but when it damn rains so annoying!! 😠

But when all clothes are dried within a day is good! Means do t have to hang them on racks in patio to dry for couple of more days lol

I wouldn't say I enjoyed. But I do rather putting it outside. It takes less energy and we don't need to put the dehumidifiers on.

kitty88uk we use it a lot and empty it every day we've got two . one upstairs and one downstairs. The down stairs one is to dry the damp, and it's done a really good job. The upstairs one dose the washing. We do small loads to fit on two clothes horses and spread it out so got room to dry. We like it . I think one of them was £180 and the other £150.

In the summer I hunt things down to wash just to get them out out the fresh air to dry, nothing nicer than drying outdoors. I even had washing out Xmas Eve here and it air dried lovely, also picked a dry day last week to do the bedding and it air dried nicely.

Laundry has a much nicer smell and feel when dried outdoors I think. The only exception is pillowcases, as a hayfever sufferer I don't put them outdoors to keep them pollen free

I like to peg the washing on the line to dry. Even in winter if it’s windy I put the washing out to air. On my patio I have two clothes horses to put towels and other clothes on. I try no to use the radiators to dry clothing except when I need an item to wear the next day.

Sugarbabe yea we do the same too if it’s not too cold but has winds it dried up outside for few hours and if too wet they are in the dryer for an hour or two

Rather than damn 3 or four hours!

Do you have to clean it or anything? Does it capture moisture in the air so it collects water and have to empty the tray?

kitty88uk It collects it moisture in the air , and collects the water in a bucket .I clean the bucket that the water collects in and empty the tub every day. It has a filter at the back which I clean every couple of weeks . Hope that helps .

Getting laundry done in the warm weather, means you can hang your washing outdoors to air dry and it's done in no time at all. It also provides a bit of shade, if you want to sit outdoors but out of the sun/ heat for a bit.

I must admit that even in the summer I hang the clothes on the airer inside. The clothes line interferes with my son playing in the garden. Only thing I like about doing laundry in the summer is how fast it dries.

But hanging them in heatwave was so awful back then I felt so dizzy 😵 and sweating 😅 so much

I did two washes today and hang them out. But I am still going to the launderette to them a "warm" drying. No way do I wear or use anything dried outside in this weather. The launderette for me.

I like doing the laundry in war. Weather ,because by being fortunate of having a washing line, the drying is easier & fresher if their is a little wind.

Baxy4723 yes I agree with you wind and warm weather clothes dry faster and they are softer compared to hanging in patio the clothes stiffens as it dries so with towels they have a sort of hard texture

I used to love doing laundry in the warm weather (before disability). I loved the smell of pegging out freshly washed clothing and bits. Unfortunately they have put me in Council accommodation and my neighbour throws cat poo at me if I go into my garden so I daren't even ask my carer to peg some out. I complained to the Council but they made things worse by telling her I had complained. I miss using my garden and being able to have my washing hung outside. It's far more expensive using the tumble drier.
