It is funny though, the dutch do it a bit differently. We once sawan American hang pants upside down and we both assumed she just didn't know what she was doing. If you hang pants from the waste, at the seam, you get much fewer wrinkels than if you do it by the pants legs (not to mention much easier as well.) Also, we always hang shits by the underarms, because that is where you notice the pin marks the least. I guess in every country things are different though, even with laundry!

I don't hang clothes outside due to our allergies, but I DO hang most of them up to dry on a rod inside the house. The only tip that I can add is, if you hang most of your clothes on a hanger (childrens' clothing ~ adult clothing would leave hanger puckers on the shoulders 'cause its heavier), you don't have to FOLD those clothes when they dry...they can go straight into the closet. :) And, for sheets and towels, I do dry those in the dryer, but program my dryer to come on at night when 1) rates are lower, and 2) you don't sense the heat from the dryer heating up your a/c'd house.

I too hang out clothes...as did my mom and grandma...etc. I was taught to hang out jeans from the back of the waist band and to unzip them and take out the pockets. I was told to do this so that the breeze could blow through the pants/legs better. (drying them quicker) Any thoughts? I just want to add a question/comment.

Well done, Jenn! <br/><br/>Love the discussion of hiding undergarments from the neighbors. One of our neighbors hangs her bloomers out in plain sight--my husband is often horrified!<br/><br/>I've also seen it suggested to hang unmentionables inside pillowcases or between sheets. Hurrah!
