Apartment life doesn't quite offer that. I could just see the looks on my neighbors' faces if I tried to string a line between buildings. They would seriously rather die...well...have me die.

I hang on line all day, maybe overnight, and then if needed put in dryer for ten minutes to finish the job. Hawaii, always humid!

I live in Mississippi where the humidity is high most of the time. Some days we drink the air instead of breath it. And yet, I do have a clothesline, and I dry all my clothes on it. I use a drying rack in the house too, and so far, nothing has mildewed. Keep trying, the energy savings are worth it. Is there no wind to help with the drying?

I managed to line dry a load the other day, but we're starting to run out of clothes. I'm hoping I can do one tomorrow before a thunderstorm hits. We’re having the same problem in Boston.

Amanda...unfortunately I don't have a whole lotta say in the machines I use. We have a laundry room in the building, not personal machines. They seem to spin pretty well but even so...with 100% humidity nothing dries. The spring, winter and fall are fine. Just the soup we call summer.

If I spin dry the clothes, they usually dry within 6 hours on a rod in my bathroom, and I live in NJ near a river. That system has worked well for me.

The clothesline is indoors and it starts in the bedroom where we have our AC...so we get a bit of cooling action when its muggy. Although it hasn't been too bad so far...unless the cloud of doom made me completely oblivious to the weather. When its muggy here in Filthadelphia I use the dryer.
