Hello Tom, Yes a mix of both but only according to the weather... Have you tried Fairy non bio gel... It's magnificent for that linen smell.... I smelled a clients washing in the spare room when I was styling her apartment... Her butler showed me the bottle... Well I have loved it ever since! : ))

Clothes smell so much nicer when left outside to dry. However, I do often crave a tumble dryer in the rainy winter months.

I don't have a tumble dryer or any outside space :( so I have to make do with clothes horses in the living room or bedroom. I agree that clothes smell nicer when hung outside, but I do like that the fresh laundry smell fills the flat when we hang washing out.

Hang it outside in your garden

In the garden, on the balcony, with the windows open! Definitely agree that clothes smell much lovelier when left to dry naturally :)

You can keep the fairy non bio gel, I'll take the butler thanks very much......

Outside for me. I always check the weather forecast and even in the depths of the winter, I can usually find at least one day a week when its possible to dry outside.

Someone once asked me to imagine what heaven would be like and the only thing I would like to do for eternity would be to hang out my family's clothes on a bright breezy spring morning - nothing nicer.

Clothes outside but bath towels in the tumble dryer to keep them soft!

I have a retractable washing line and think they are the best solution for small gardens. Mine was already installed when I bought the house (6 years ago) and still very sturdy and works as it ought to. Not sure of the make will look when I get home. But I would say they are a great purchase!

Hanging outdoors is always best, but when its raining or damp the tumble dryer is handy to have!
