You just need full acre of basement for that.

What? This is how most people in European cities dry their clothes and I guarantee they all have smaller houses than in American cities

Just needs a clotheshorse which is like the size of a table

Wait, they're called clotheshorses? I just called them drying racks

[–] Vegasimov@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

I'd go with clothes horse or maiden, to me a drying rack is for dishes

I hang mine on four door-mounted clothehangers, it takes up less space

And infinity time.

We were traveling in the UK and stayed with some family and we needed to do laundry pretty bad and they had a washer dryer combo machine. Obviously it was still wet afterwards, and we hung it to finish drying.

And left two days later with damp clothes.

I have 3 kids and do the laundry on Wednesday and Sunday, about 3-4 loads each time. Everything gets hang-dried except towels, socks, pyjama-pants, and men's undies, which go in one big late-night load in the dryer when the juice is cheap.

It takes 2 small clothes horses in my laundry room. Not a huge basement.

Only time I'm doing lots of drying is when I'm washing sheets, which is probably less often than I should.
