I much prefer hang drying.

  • Less wear on the clothes
  • Basically no energy cost (technically not correct but it's really whatever)
  • Free humidifying during the dry winters
  • Fairly satisfying thing to do while listening to a podcast

The primary downside is that it's no fun to do it when it rains, neither indoors or outdoors, but as long as you time your laundry well enough, it's all good.

It's -11°F where I am today, my family still lives in Jamaica and I envy their ability to hang their clothes so much.

It should be possible to hang your clothes indoors still, I guess. Outdoors as well I've been told, when it's a bit below freezing, but I'll admit that I've never actually tried that.

I do all the time and it works.

What's your usual strategy? Any maximum outdoor temperature you aim for, how long do you aim to hang the clothes, etc?
