Basket Placement

To simplify your clothes hanging, you should consider basket placement. When you bring your basket of heavy, wet freshly laundered clothes to your clothesline, you should have a plan in mind as to where your basket will be placed. One sensible placement method is to place the basket near the middle of the clothesline. This technique allows reaching  all hanging points with minimum distance traveled.

Another sensible basket placement technique is to place the basket at the side of your clothesline closest to your door. The thinking behind this method is that you have less distance to carry the heavy basket.  Of course, the trade-off is that you will have to carry your laundry further to get it to where it will hang.




"Middle of the line" basket placement






 

Either method is fine - it comes down to a matter of personal choice. I choose to place the basket of wet clothes near the middle of the line. Although I have to carry the basket of wet clothing further, I want to minimize the risk of dropping a piece of clean wet laundry. Less distance to carry, less chance of a drop!
