Windows to Hang Washing From

Continuing my From Dirty to Clean theme with windows, here are some to hang your washing from. All but one are from Spain. The odd one out is our very own washing line. Which one though?

For Ludwig’s Monday Window.

PS. British Readers for the use of. I’m very taken by an app I’ve come across. It’s called The Washing Line Index. Supply it with your post code or allow it to use your location, and it will tell you how wise it would be to hang your washing out today. How likely is it to rain? How warm will it be? How hard will the wind blow? It’s brilliant, ad free and … free. As a confirmed hanger-out-of-washing-in-nearly-all-circumstances, I love it.

  4. I believe your washing is the last! We hang our laundry, too! There is nothing fresher than a shirt or pant hung out to dry. I was gong to put some shirts out yesterday, but I remembered we were in for some rain. Hung them to dry in the basement, but it is not the same.

  9. THIS IS A STARK REMINDER OF MY CHILDHOOD WHEN I COULD, FROM GRAMMAR SCHOOL PLAY YARD, SEE MY MOM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BLOCK WE LIVED ON HANGING WASH ON A LINE FROM THE SECOND STORY FLAT WE LIVED IN IN NEW JERSEY. EVEN WHEN WE HAD WASHERS AND DRYERS I STILL HNG OUT WAS ON THE WASHLINE AND MY NEIGHBOR TOLD ME ‘YOU HAVE THE FRESHEST LAUNDRY’ SINCE IT WAS IN THE SUN AND SLEEPING ON THE SHEETS THE FRESH SMELL WAS STILL THERE.

    1. They’re all on balconies, so I don’t think theft is an option. Oh, you mean our dark washing line! It was winter. You can’t always get washing in before nightfall if you’ve been out for the day! xx

  15. What a brilliant app recommendation! As a fellow dedicated outdoor-drier, checking weather forecasts for laundry windows is an art form. Plus, balcony laundry scenes always add so much vibrant character to architectural photos. Great post, Margaret! 🧺☀️

      1. Absolutely nothing beats the fresh smell of line-dried clothes! 🧺☀️ It’s one of life’s simple pleasures. So lovely to connect with a fellow outdoor-drying enthusiast! Have a wonderful week ahead, Margaret!

  18. Well now I know that I’ll be able to put the washing out tomorrow and indulge in a leisurely lunch confident in the knowledge I won’t get home to a soggy mess!. Luckily I don’t have to download yet another app to get the forecast – it works via the browser.

    2. We have a similar rule at our apartment building which I don’t mind as there’s always one person who will go totally overboard and hang everything out to dry. We have clothes lines out the back of the building.

  22. How clever to apply the weather forecast to the specifics of hanging out the washing! We only line dry our washing outside unless there is a very protracted rainy spell. I follow several weather apps/forecasts as I tend to worry about rain or the lack of it, and not only so as to try to predict the good washing/drying days!
