Clothes dryers take a lot of energy and hanging washing out in
apartment balconies is an eyesore and wonder if it is necessary.
I find that hanging clothes from hooks inside the house works
fine and they are dry in a couple of days. Wonder if the gravity
effect , water dipping to the floor is just as effective as hanging
them out in the sun.

but I wouldn't expect an idiot like you to know that.
If you want to dry clothes indoors, open all the windows and turn on a
fan or two.
BTW, taking days to dry invites the growth of mold.

Drying clothes indoors can increase humidity. Under the right conditions
this can cause condensation and mold growth. It's a problem in many
houses in the UK.

In article <toCdnegg96jpfwXN...@brightview.co.uk>,
In some cases the increased humidity is a benefit. The inside of a
house can become very dry in the winter because of the drying effect of
the heating system. That dry air causes irritation of the mucous
membranes in some people, and an increase in the moisture in the air
could be a good thing.

still an idiot has found an acorn!
I always hang clothes inside (basement) in winter. It's green since you
don't need to run any humidifier to compensate for heating system. I
also hang some inside in summer too, since basement has a dehumidifier
running to eliminate dampness in basement. However, I don't give a crap
about being an eyesore, so I hang most of them outside in summer and
take a change with being arrested for felony clothes drying. They dry
quickly and I love the ozone smell thanks to our pollution destroying
the OZONE layer.

You live in the basement? Mom's basement?

The point I was making is that hanging by the hook , the water
has nowhere to go but down and the clothes get drier quicker.
However hanging them outside in the sun makes the water go up
while gravity is pulling it downwards , so it stays put , and takes
ages to dry. Once you think about , it becomes so obvious.

Try an experiment. Put a wet t shirt overnight on a hook and it will
be dry in the morning, put it outside in the sun and it will take two
days

Hangling things on a hook instead of a line will bunch things up, which
reduces air flow, which increases drying time.
You are still an idiot.

Well I have tried the experiment. Hanging a wet towel straight
from the washing machine , on a hook , dries it within a day, while
putting the same on a hot water radiator takes twice as long

One day I was in a rush and so just hung up the towels and shirts on
a hook, higgeldy piggeldy on top of each other , ie three from the
same hook and was surprised to see them all bone dry the next day!

Of course hanging stuff over a hot water radiator takes longer to dry
as there is no AIR circulation which is what really drys things.
You are STILL an idiot.

AIR flow around them, they would have dried in hours.

They'll dry outside in the winter, too. You just have to wait for them
