In reply to the discussion: My Mom had a wringer washer and a clothes line. Yes I am old & I want a clothes line again [View all]when I checked for a link for the type I have. I hang all of my wet clothes on hangers. In the winter, I dry them on door hangers or a rack I have. Adds humidity. In the summer, I hang them on hangers and hang them on the line, keeps the house cool. For my bed quilts, I hang them over the chain link fence.
