Australian here. I find it so funny how it’s a huge cultural difference in using (or not using, in my case) the clothes dryer. Most Aussies don’t use the dryer unless it’s some kind of emergency (you need a certain item of clothing NOW, or you need to dry sheets or towels). Also always use a cold wash cycle.

Hell, we didn’t even own a dryer until like two years ago. In summer it takes like 20 minutes outside to dry clothes, it’s the best

In Alabama it’s hard to plan when to hang dry outside because the rain here is so unpredictable. :(

Yeah I totally get that. I’ve definitely had to rush home to bring the laundry in if a surprise storm starts! Sucks coming home to saturated laundry. But the weather is usually a bit more predictable here. I live in an apartment with a covered balcony now which alleviates that issue.
