Here in Manhattan, almost no one has an outside. I must be wrong but from the few times I’ve visited Japan, vast swathes of Tokyo is the same.

- darkpuma 7y agoI'd be hesitant to try it in urban areas, since the air pollution particularly above streets could be quite bad. I'm sure it depends on a lot of particular local factors though.

- mrhappyunhappy 7y agoWe also dry ours inside when it’s raining out. For those occasions we have a dehumidifier. Many newer Japanese homes come with a small clothes drying room for when the weather is not suitable.

- pas 7y agoCould you elaborate on this? Sure clothes create dust, but the majority is created because during regular wearing and/or packing. (The dryer tumbles the clothes, whereas indoors it barely moves.)
