I remember when the neighborhood women hung laundry out in their backyards to dry. We had several tall poles with bars to attach the clothes lines. When taking down the lines after the clothes and sheets had dried (smelled so fresh) the women would quickly loop the lines back and forth from the fork between thumb and index finger down to the elbow. Where I live now, tâs against some ordinance to hang clothes outside that way.
I remember during the 70s or early 80s when some clever person offered a âSolar-powered clothes dryerâ for sale. It consisted of a length of clothes line and several clothes pins.
Clean sheets in the sun and wind indicate hygenic humans to me! No bed bugs! Also UV light from the sun kills bacteria, herpes and other virusâs. I would be suspicious of a homeowners group that DIDNâT endorse clotheslines..Clothes lines in the basement in the winter & spriing were not as fun tho⊠rose must have a huge , clear basement! sigh..envyâŠ
In Ontario it was illegal to hang your clothes outside, because it was âunsightlyâ. Then they got smart and realized how eco friendly it is, and changed their stance.
Most neighborhoods that ban clotheslines do so because they are only used by âThose Kinds of Peopleâ..Never mind Who âThose Kinds of Peopleâ are.
They just donât âLikeâ them..No matter how much we deny it, Americans are lonely for the European system of âUpperâ & âLowerâ class people. Every neighborhood has to have Someone who âDoesnât Belongâ..
