It's good to hang clothes in the morning. Your clothes have more time on the line, and it's cooler. If you hope to get two loads hung, you'd better get an early start. Clothes hanging can be more pleasant earlier in the day.
If it's cool, however, there can be dew. Dew is NOT the friend of the clothes hanger. You hang clothes to make them more dry, not more wet.
Plastic clothes lines (such as the Lehigh 3/16" plastic clothesline) have their advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is the tendency to accumulate dew in certain weather conditions. One way to minimize the amount of dew on a clothesline is to give the line a good twang before hanging your clothing. Pull it down, release it and let it spring up. Much of the dew will fly off of the line. Do this two or three times. Although your line will not be completely dry, any moisture that can be eliminated is helpful.
In the future, we will discuss the various clothesline options. For today, however, remember - flip the drip!
