Unfortunately some communities ban outside clothes hanging. People claim it cheapens the neighborhood, and neighbors do not like seeing other peoples laundry from their yard.
Shame on them. I still hang on my outside clothes hanging rack. However, sometimes the birds are not so nice, but when you got to go, you got to go.

That's nice, I remember clothes on laundry lines when I was a kid. I remember that fresh small but now that I think of it, I haven't seen anyone dry clothes outside in years and years.

I remember when it was winter, the clothes on the laundry line would be stiff and we had to let them thaw before we folded them....LOL

I've got a clothes line and in fact, there is laundry out there right now! I undertand, though, the concerns about bird droppings and pollen.

I love falling asleep in freshly washed lined dried sheets!
I miss that smell from when I was a child.
Now all we have is bounce nonsense for scent and that scary snuggle bear!🤣😕

could really never do this in our area.......so many birds, other wildlife creatures, pollen, and with our humidity, the chance almost every day of a strong afternoon thunderstorm.....not to mention fading from the sun.

I hate laundry hung outside. The towels are stiff and as another poster pointed out, they are covered with pollen and any gunk in the air. Then there's the birds that seem to discover the laundry on the clothes line. We live across the road from the ocean so there are tons of sea gulls.

All laundry goes outside here, even in the winter for sheets and shirts. I enjoy it. I live in an HOA, but have lines on my porch. No one has ever said anything in all the years I've been here. Everything smells so good. Use my dryer very little..........it's like new
As for towels being stiff. That's okay.......exfoliates your skin. I also have a large indoor drying rack that I got from the Q and use that in the winter. I never put kitchen linen in the dryer. It always has an odd smell to me.

My Mother hung everything on the line or in the basement. I always hung the sheets on the line. My son would say I love when I get into bed when you change the sheets. When we moved to the country I tried hanging them on the line but the birds always pooped on them and I would have to wash them again.
