Denise, this brought back so many fond memories. I always hated when we would have to hang clothes out to dry when I was growing up, but watching your video, I'm remembering about the fresh clean smell they would have when we bought them in to fold. Great memories!
Sister Cousins Lifestyle Hi Sandy, you know when you’re young you don’t appreciate stuff but I actually enjoy hanging out sheets, tee shirts, and a few other things. I don’t hang undies...too private for that. I love the clean smell of laundry fresh off the line. I’m glad I caused a few pleasant memories.
I grew up in the 70s and we were very poor. My mom didn't have a dryer, only a washer. She hung clothes on the line, even in winter when possible. I remember laughing in amazement because our pants would be so stiff from the cold that they literally stood up. The worst times, though, were when she had to hang them up over chairs in front of the wood stove or by the electric baseboard heaters. The next day, getting ready for school, the seams and the waistband would still be damp and I'd have to put those pants on. Dear Lord! I was so ill tempered by the time I got to school!!! I hated those wet seams. I love my mom and dad for all they endured for us. Gosh, times were hard, but we always loved each other. I would not want to relive those days. But I sure admire my mom and dad.
Terry Russell Every day Guy terry, now that you say that, we had a wringer washer when I was little. I had forgotten all about it. And...I knew a girl who got her arm caught in a wringer washer and lost it up to her elbow. I forgot all about that! That wringer washer...hmmm...did it sit outside on the porch? That Part is fuzzy.
Loved this video! I used to hang out all the family's clothes during the spring, summer, and fall. I even did cloth diapers and they never seemed cleaner as when I hung them out in the sunshine! We don't have a clothesline now, but I do use a fold up clothes rack similar to the one you showed. There's nothing better than the smell of clean sheets, dried outside!!
Very helpful! I don’t live with my parents anymore and they never really taught me these kind of things. Thank you so much I will definitely be using this
I really want to say a big thank you. I have learned to really appreciate a clean and orderly home. I am also training my son to keep his space and the house orderly. Very much appreciate it. Best to you and yours.
I just love you and your videos! We hang laundry out almost daily. All 6 of our children from 24 to 9 years old know how to hang them and bring them in. I am so glad to see someone teaching others skills that are being lost on younger generations. God bless you!
Michelle Nelson Hi Michelle, good on you for making sure your kids have this and other simple skills. When I was first asked about this I thought seriously? Then I remembered that so many people have either never seen this or been taught how to do it. I enjoy it. I love the scent of clothes fresh off the line.
@@homemakingwithdenise , yes! The scent of line dried clothes is heavenly. Thank you for sharing homemaking skills like this one. I appreciate that you realize the need for these skills.
I'm a new subscriber. Mary's Nest recommended your channel. I remember hanging clothes on a line when I was young. We're not allowed to have anything outside except for a small storage shed in the back. Plus even if we could the ground here smells like dog poop since the neighbors just let their dogs roam out alone and don't clean up after them. Also it rains every season here and can be windy. Our yard is often saturated with water. I don't have much laundry as Lee just has me wash his once in awhile. I do mine and our older and autistic son Daniel once per week. Our younger son Thomas died of SIDS seven weeks after his birth. He would have been nine years old on September 30 if he was still alive. I miss him so much. Daniel is a daddy's boy and Thomas was mine. I was ridiculously happy for the first time while he was alive and I've been primarily numb for the first time since he died. Daniel makes me miss him more and he looked exactly like Lee so I'll never get over losing him.
Hey Denise I randomly found your videos and found your information so good and informative. I am a Brit who has lived in New York, Seattle and now Los Angeles. We have a culture where tumble dryers are not part of daily life in the UK so when I moved to the states I was like the only person who was line drying or using a clothes rack. My great aunt is 99 and she always hangs her clothes in Beverly Hills and the looks she gets from the neighbours is amazing 🤣😂 Thanks for making the video
I have a big washing line every day my washing is hung out and I have cloth poles to hang them high hubby loves it when I’ve had the bedding outside and put it back on so much joy of the fresh smells😊 Beautiful blessings from Scotland 🏴
abigail irvine Hi Abigail...another friend from Scotland. I remember clothes line poles! We used them to prop the lines up if clothes were too heavy. I forgot about those. I don’t have one but I rarely hang out things that are super heavy. Yes, putting the bedding back on the bed after a day out side...it would smell amazing.
Peggy Schuenemeyer Hi Peggy, I know. And when you pit them on the bed and snuggle in, the sheets smell so good and you sleep like a baby. At least I do!
I can remember as a young girl, hanging clothes out on the line in freezing temps and gathering them froze to thaw out over a wood stove! Those days....I DONT miss! Lol But I do still enjoy hanging them out now that I am older. ( Even drew water from a well to wash! ) its pretty much another lost home skill. Great video! And look forward to the daily and crock videos coming up.
April Jo Hi April Jo, I love your name. It’s so cozy. But thank you for watching. Where are you that you did this? I was thinking nobody my age or younger would have done that. And no, I’ll bet you don’t miss those days but it is nice to put things on the line. I’m glad you’re looking forward to some daily videos. What would you like to see?
@@homemakingwithdenise 😊 Thank ya! My name is actually April Lynn but the Jo fits me. Have seriously considered changing my name! I live in TN, and I'm 52.😊 The crock pot recipes is what I'm going to look forward to.
I live in Va and just turned 55 but I remember having to hang clothes out and bringing them in and they were frozen stiff, the fire place was roaring and ready! ❤️ Just never did understand why we just didn't do that to begin with but, then I remember the wonderful smell of it clothes after being hung on the clothesline 😃🙏💜
I so loved this video!!!! So glad I found you through the My Organized House Tours! | Mega March Motivation!!! So I had to stop and check out more of your videos! LOVE them! I am old school homemaker and when I hang the clothes on the lines, I do the overlap method, depending on how much I need to hang. I love the LONG clothesline across the back of the yard especially for sheets. We have a farmers field behind us so we have to watch to make I don't hang clothes when he is out in the fields, or when the neighbors are burning trash. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Your laundry lessons are on point! In my house , my husband does the laundry; I am not going to break down his process, it's epic (Don't even use a dry cleaner anymore) Thank you for sharing ❤️wish you well.
Just found for channel a couple of weeks ago absolutely love 💕 you and your videos I do my washing and hang it out and use close rack sometimes I finish it off in dryer then I don’t need to iron I loved watching your pantry videos and what to stock up on thank you lovely 😊 lady Anne flavell Scotland 🏴 🇬🇧 U.K. sending you a hug 🤗 keep safe and well you are doing a good job helping everyone 🌍🙏🤗🌈🌈🌺🌸🌼🌻🌹🍄🌷🍁🍂💐
Anne Flavell Anne, there is very little that I iron. The aprons...yes. Most are cotton and don’t dry twinkle free. Most other things I hang up quickly, but yes, a few minutes in the dryer will knock the wrinkles out. I absolutely love my drying racks. There’s always delicates and other things that one doesn’t want to put in the dryer. Thanks for stopping by. I told my hubby that I’ve got a lady visiting from Scotland! How cool is that.
Denise, years ago we always hung our clothes out, because Dryers were very expensive back then. I loved hanging out clothes when we had a home, but now I live in a Condo. The bed sheets and clothes also smelled so good and I really miss that. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
You have a beautiful yard! Some people really need to know this stuff, I cant imagine not hanging out the clothes I just miss the rotary hoist in the biggest size where the grass grew so nicely beneath it. Now we have one on the wall outside that I dont like so much. Its often so hot, I like to put it all mostly on plastic coat hangers then run outside and zip zip zip hang them up in two seconds and run back inside. It helps. Once I had a lovely laundry trolley to wheel everything outside. Now I dont. One tip I made work for me was having some line threaded through about 3 pool noodles about1.4 mtrs per noodle so I dry my curtains over them and it wont crease any lines on my curtain as they dry.
So often, I see comments about how much people like the smell of sheets dried outdoors. I do, too....but I also like the smell of ALL laundry dried outdoors. I love to pull a shirt over my head & take in the scent . It's wonderful. I used to be a big fan of fabric softener but I've changed. Now I fill my fabric softener dispenser w/plain ol' white vinegar. I found out fabric softener leaves a residue. I LOVE hanging laundry outdoors & do as long as the weather is warm enough.....cold weather just means I hang it indoors. I don't even own a clothes dryer. Line drying laundry makes fabric last over twice as long ! Dryers are tough on fabric...all the lint in the lint catcher isn't just surface lint ! By the way, I noticed the birds when you were hanging laundry....isn't that delightful ? Oh...also, when laundry is dried in a dryer , it needs removed as soon as the dryer stops or everything will be a wrinkled mess. Not so w/laundry hanging on lines ! You can take your time going out to take it down.
Denise, I enjoyed this video....I have a clothes line outside from Home Depot it looks like a rack but attached to a poll. I would love to hear how you handle keeping the washing machine clean and do you every use white vinegar in the wash....thank you....:-)....Debbie
skierty2 Hi Debbie, I will do a washing machine video this week. And yes, I do use white vinegar...usually in the rinse cycle but depending on what’s what, it might go in the wash. It’s great to help handle odors.
Just moved into a house with a clothes line and was told today not to use the dryer because it’s broken 😞. Thank you for such a wonderful video! Was not looking forward to having to go to the laundromat!
Artsy Cupcake Hey Maria, how are you? It’s good of you to stop by. I’m glad you enjoyed the tips. Oh...please send me info on your Collabs. I still do the weekly show on Sundays,
YARNPREPPER you are too funny. I’ve only had that happen once or twice but my sister said it’s happened a few times to her. She hates to hang clothes outside. Hahaha!
I didn't know people needed lessons on hanging clothes out lol we had to hang them attached because we always lost pen to kids and bicycle wheels that's where the playing cards went too! Dusty days are bad also lol my mom talked about freeze dried clothes. Thank goodness I grew up in warm weather 👍😊
Another great video! I haven't hung out clothes in years! I missed it. I do have a question. My sheets in my hallway closet has this old wood smell, what would you recommend getting rid of this smell. It's like the sheets absorbs the closet smell.
LiveLaughLovePray Thank you. They are so useful and I use them year round. They also save wear and tear on clothing that can happen in the dryer. Thanks for watching. What are your laundry challenges?
Any recommendations for chemical free fabric softener? I have heard white vinegar is a natural substitute. Have you tried this? I love the wire shelves in your Laundry Lab. We use the individual spaces on the edge to hang dry clothes inside on hangers, especially during bad weather. Works like a charm and great for storing extra hangers neatly as well!
Gypsy Belle oh yes...vinegar is an excellent option for fabric softener. It helps brighten and soften. I’ve hung the hubbies white shirts there when working on them. I’m so glad for that little system. It helps me stay organized.
Anne Flavell Hi Anne, if I’m not mistaken, you’re my new friend from Scotland! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. What else can I make for you?
Hi Denise I remember my Mom hanging clothes on the line There is absolutely nothing to compare to the fragrance.!! My Mom also had a couple of drying racks she always washed her under things by hand hung them on there and they stayed new looking for years tfs
Create With Cindy Hi Cindy, my mom didn’t like to hang things out but her mom occasionally did. I don’t hang my undies out. I’m too embarrassed to do that, sports bras, yes, but regular undies no. Just too shy about that but certainly keeping them out of the dryer will keep them nice longer. What daily kind of stuff would you like to see?
@@homemakingwithdenise Hi Denise oh no she didn't hang her undergarments outside lol The rack was in her bedroom placed over the register ! Love to see see videos on one dish meals Quick and easy
Well Karyn, the simple answer is sometimes. It depends on how dingy and how long. How hard your water is that kind of thing. I wonder if laundry stripping would help? Hmmm. I'll have to try and see.
I live in Wisconsin. My personal rule is I don’t hang out clothes unless it 60° or warmer. They just feel like they don’t get thoroughly dry below that.
YARNPREPPER I have to agree with you there. If it’s too cool, you still have to let them finish drying inside. Today was beautiful most of the day and then...sigh, it rained.
🌹 Great video! I enjoy all of your videos 💜 I am in a small rental house (785 sq ft) and I have a small portable washer and I absolutely love it! I have two metal drying racks that fold up easy and I can dry clothes outside or inside. 🌹 I am a “crockpotter” and I’m in the Facebook group 😃
Sweet Jaybaby ohhhh! Hi there. It’s so nice of you to come over and visit. I’m glad you are enjoying my videos. I’m making a crockpot chili in a day or so. I’m excited about seeing all of that. Yes, those little dying racks are so useful. I use mine year round.
My problem? I'm short. 5'. I think maybe the sheets would touch the ground. I've never done this before but our electric bill was so high that I'm thinking of ways to decrease it.
Hey sis, it is really important to understand what makes our fibers stiff when washed. Everyday laundry soaps have a TON of fillers. These fillers leave a film on your fibers. Think of it as your clothes gaining weight. You wear, and leave body oils and world dirt etc., and then wash with non eco detergent and thereby add another layer film. If you can find a good detergent that has no fillers, you need no fab softener at all. Your cotton clothes smell like cotton. Stains dont set because they are not covered in said filters s over and over and over. Worth your research. Most eco friendly are more than worthy or the preppers time and money.
Another tip for parents with potty training kids. If they wet the bed make sure when you wash the pee things you put some vinegar in the washer because it will take the pee smell right out of the clothes and don't worry the vinegar smell will disappear by the time the drying is done.
stephanie frederick Hahaha! Thank you. It never fails that he pops in or up when I’m filming. I try film when he’s out but I can never get it done. He’s so funny.
Just a little hint about hanging clothes outside. If your baby soiled out of its diaper don't throw the clothes away. All you have to do is wash them then hang them out on the line making sure the soiled spots are in the sun and the sun will make the soiled spots disappear.
I use vinegar in the rinse cycle. That will help. Give them a good shake or snap when you get them off the line but...they will not be as soft as coming out of an electric dryer.
Celina Svahins Hi Celina, are HOA doesn’t worry about clothes lines but there aren’t many in our neighborhood. Just one or two here and there. You could get a drying rack to put on the patio. It could serve you well for a few special things. I’m not familiar with a pants stretcher. How does it work?
@@homemakingwithdenise Pants stretchers are made of thin metal and come in pairs. You slide them into pant legs out of the washer and hang them to dry that way. Since the fabric was stretched tight, there's no need to iron the pants after drying. Google it. They're a real time and work saver :)
Denise, this brought back so many fond memories. I always hated when we would have to hang clothes out to dry when I was growing up, but watching your video, I'm remembering about the fresh clean smell they would have when we bought them in to fold. Great memories!

Well Karyn, the simple answer is sometimes. It depends on how dingy and how long. How hard your water is that kind of thing. I wonder if laundry stripping would help? Hmmm. I'll have to try and see.
I live in Wisconsin. My personal rule is I don’t hang out clothes unless it 60° or warmer. They just feel like they don’t get thoroughly dry below that.
YARNPREPPER I have to agree with you there. If it’s too cool, you still have to let them finish drying inside. Today was beautiful most of the day and then...sigh, it rained.
🌹 Great video! I enjoy all of your videos 💜 I am in a small rental house (785 sq ft) and I have a small portable washer and I absolutely love it! I have two metal drying racks that fold up easy and I can dry clothes outside or inside.

Sweet Jaybaby ohhhh! Hi there. It’s so nice of you to come over and visit. I’m glad you are enjoying my videos. I’m making a crockpot chili in a day or so. I’m excited about seeing all of that. Yes, those little dying racks are so useful. I use mine year round.
My problem? I'm short. 5'. I think maybe the sheets would touch the ground. I've never done this before but our electric bill was so high that I'm thinking of ways to decrease it.
Hey sis, it is really important to understand what makes our fibers stiff when washed. Everyday laundry soaps have a TON of fillers. These fillers leave a film on your fibers. Think of it as your clothes gaining weight. You wear, and leave body oils and world dirt etc., and then wash with non eco detergent and thereby add another layer film.
If you can find a good detergent that has no fillers, you need no fab softener at all. Your cotton clothes smell like cotton. Stains dont set because they are not covered in said filters s over and over and over.
Worth your research. Most eco friendly are more than worthy or the preppers time and money.
Another tip for parents with potty training kids. If they wet the bed make sure when you wash the pee things you put some vinegar in the washer because it will take the pee smell right out of the clothes and don't worry the vinegar smell will disappear by the time the drying is done.
Remember those days.
One of my Grandmas had a clothes line in the basement for inclement drying. The Other Grandma had her inclement clothes line in the garage.
You two are cute, thank you!......🎃
stephanie frederick Hahaha! Thank you. It never fails that he pops in or up when I’m filming. I try film when he’s out but I can never get it done. He’s so funny.
Just a little hint about hanging clothes outside. If your baby soiled out of its diaper don't throw the clothes away. All you have to do is wash them then hang them out on the line making sure the soiled spots are in the sun and the sun will make the soiled spots disappear.
How do you make sure your bath towels dry soft
I use vinegar in the rinse cycle. That will help. Give them a good shake or snap when you get them off the line but...they will not be as soft as coming out of an electric dryer.
I'll try adding more vinegar, as long as they don't come out like sand paper.
Been hanging clothes on a clothes line since I was a little girl with my grandma.
Hanging clothes on the line is against our HOA rules :( I remember my mother using pants stretchers on my dad's pants. Days gone by. How I miss them.
Celina Svahins Hi Celina, are HOA doesn’t worry about clothes lines but there aren’t many in our neighborhood. Just one or two here and there. You could get a drying rack to put on the patio. It could serve you well for a few special things. I’m not familiar with a pants stretcher. How does it work?
@@homemakingwithdenise Pants stretchers are made of thin metal and come in pairs. You slide them into pant legs out of the washer and hang them to dry that way. Since the fabric was stretched tight, there's no need to iron the pants after drying. Google it. They're a real time and work saver :)
I have several friends that are younger than me and I was so surprised that none of them had a clue how to hang clothes.
Grew up helping my grandma hang clothing in the backyard she had a rose garden to die for and when you climbed into bed there was nothing like it.
I didn't realize people still hang closthes on the libe
Can you please make the clothes hanging on a 30s to 1min short video for the kids please 🙏😊🤩
Hello 👋
Don't put your clothes upsidedown
