Housewifely Tips on Drying Clothes

http://www.flickr.com/photos/wiccked/2171522774/I’ve dried washing on radiators, clothes horses in front of gas and log fires, strung up on a line in the kitchen or bathroom, in driers at the launderette, and in one I owned when I had a larger kitchen.

Hanging them out on a washing line in town makes them smell of petrol or diesel; they are more likely to be cleaner and fresher if dried and freshened indoors.

The best way to dry clothes is hanging them on a washing line to blow in the wind, provided you live in the country or the sea where the scents of flowers, herbs and grass, or the salty sea can waft through them, making them smell sweeter than any fabric conditioner.
