How To Hang Your Washing Out To Dry

To hang out your washing to dry you will need lots of pegs. Don't overcrowd your line. For towels and sheets use the bag technique which will make them come up nice and fluffy.

Step 1: You will need

  • 1 washing line
  • pegs
  • batch of freshly washed laundry
  • washing line

Step 2: How to hang

All laundry should be hung as flat as possible and not folded over the line. With good strong pegs it's quite possible to place the hem of the article along the line without folding and peg along the hem.
At least 3 pegs are required for a t-shirt or shirt.
Towels and sheets benefit best from being hung out as a bag. Take the corners and peg along one side along the line. Fold the opposite side up to meet it and peg along the two sides, leaving a space in the middle. The towel will rub against itself and come up really fluffy.

Step 3: Don't overcrowd

There should be sufficient pegs to hang everything individually. Don't use one peg for the end of one shirt and the beginning of the next.

Step 4: Put the dry washing away
