How and where do you dry your laundry?

Here, too, I think it often depends on user behavior and the initial situation.

In summer, if possible, drying is done in the garden on the rotary dryer or the dryer is used for quick items. From a household of 4 people with toddlers, I think purely drying on lines, etc., is not effective. In my opinion, drying in the basement during the winter months would take too long. We do both and depending on the need, currently in a 5-person household with dryer and line. But I would be reluctant to do without the dryer.

We currently have a gas heating system in the rental building. The utility room (in the basement), where it is located, is by far the warmest in the entire house. It makes no difference at all what happens outside.

Bed linen, dish towels, dishcloths, burp cloths, changing table covers go into the tumble dryer. Clothes only if it has to be quick. Clothes are hung on a drying rack in the utility room or on the clothesline in the garden. Clothes with carrot, sweet potato, and pumpkin stains always hang in the sun because of the stains. In winter, it naturally takes longer.

Totally agree, that's enough for me too, as long as there isn't a household of 5 people doing laundry, I think a clothesline is enough!

I am just glad that we have a tumble dryer. Now that the phase of wet pants is somewhat over with our child, our child thought about eating in bed over the weekend. Everything including pillows, blankets, bed linen, and stuffed animals then had to go into the washing machine and afterwards into the dryer and was ready for use again by the next day's nap. Now, for the first few days, we also have the diaper off at night, so a mishap or two is still to be expected there.

Everything that is allowed in and can go in the dryer both summer and winter. Just the fact that you have to iron less or not at all almost saves the energy of the (heat pump) dryer again and you don't constantly have laundry hanging somewhere...
