I have always had a rotary washing line, fits loads and dries just fine. Then a year or so ago it started to fall apart basically. My MIL said they look ugly anyway - why don't u just get an airer so that you can just put it out when u want to dry washing, then fold it up when u don't. So I did. Have used it since, but really don't like it - falls over far too easily, nightmare to dry sheets etc on..... so I said to OH this morn I was thinking about getting another rotary line & what did he think. He burst out laughing and said he cudnt give a monkeys lol.
So what do you all use??
(btw yes my washing machine does have a tumble dryer but I hate using it)

"In most parts of the UK we need as much sun and air on our laundry as possible, so clothes will dry more efficiently on a straight washing line than on a rotary washing line - but a straight washing line obviously takes up more space. Retractable washing lines are a good option, allowing you to hide the washing line away when you’ve finished using it. Rotary washing lines are good for fitting a lot of washing into a small space, but individual items might take longer to dry than on a single straight line."

Funny you should ask this Smow. Only yesterday my DIY man fitted a retractable line for me in the back garden and I was surprised at how long it is. It goes down to the pole and back again which gives me a double line which will be handy. I like the idea of only having it out when I need it and can retract it in the winter so it keeps clean. By the way, what is classed as an airer?
