Away with the clotheslines!

[Marc Chevalier]

Why? Let us count the ways ...

My problem with clotheslines (especially in the winter) is that some items (heavy cotton jeans, for example) take forever to dry; and when they do, they tend to be very stiff. Wrinkled too -- and it's difficult to remove wrinkles from rigid, stiff fabric.

Finally, the air in Santiago is so dusty and smoggy, your clothes get dirty again as they're hanging out to dry!

And the problem with clotheslines in the Amazon...is that everything mildews before it ever gets actually dry.

When I came back from living there I just -threw- stuff away....

..bad memories I have are towels and jeans that were to dry outside..OUCH!

But yes, towels and jeans - yuck!

The jeans that are brought in to stand in the corner for a while in winter.

The only thing was it made your jeans as stiff as a board!

No way! I can remember clothesline dried towels growing up. If I want sandpaper I will go to the hardware store and buy it.
My mother always manged to screw up my expensive Guess T shirts back then too. Red on the front and pink on the back? Uh, no thanks.
This is, of course, leaving out how birds, dust in the air and dogs that love to eat clothes might affect your wardrobe. It has all happened to me.

Oh yeah, the towels! Almost as stiff as the jeans.

Almost!? Where have you been? Only concrete is stiffer.

We had a clothesline when I was a kid, used it all the time in the summer. I don't think I could use one half the year now, as my allergies are bad enough as it is without having pollen stuck in my clothes and sheets!
