- nemomarx 1y agoDo a lot of apartments have access to a washing line? Also seems kinda slow?
- xyzzy123 1y agoThis is fair - no it won't work in every situation, just didn't see good old air and sunshine mentioned in the thread anywhere. Surely the only scalable solution in a medical context is to get workers to change out of uniform at work and hand over to industrial laundry service, everything else relies on procedure outside the work environment which not everyone is going to do reliably and is difficult to supervise / QC.
- whiterock 1y agoslow? much faster than hanging them up to dry inside
- PaulDavisThe1st 1y agoDepends a lot on the climate and season.
- kadoban 1y agoIt's slower than throwing them in a standard dryer, in both clock time and human effort time.
- positr0n 1y agoA lot of people I know would be constantly sick from allergies if they did this.
- jerlam 1y agoMy HOA has decreed that clotheslines are prohibited. But my state has also made it illegal to prohibit the use of clotheslines, a "right to dry" law.
- saagarjha 1y agoSo, are you drying your clothes outside?
- Peanuts99 1y agoIt seems insane to me that a group of people who live near you can tell you how you dry your washing. From a UK perspective, HOA's seem mad.
- freddie_mercury 1y agoThe UK also has homeowners associations and some of them ban outdoors clothes drying. I'm surprised you didn't know that.
- gambiting 1y agoI live in the UK and I've never heard of that - do you have any examples? The one thing I could find is leasehold covenants prohitibing it, but that's almost always moot and ridiculously difficult to enforce.

Banning laundry hanging is much less common in the UK so harder to find examples. But POAs are reasonably common and enforce all kinds of things for aesthetic reasons.
- potato3732842 1y agoHOA rules and local ordinances are written by the most petty people who have the least other stuff going on and the strongest desire to use threat of violence to control other people. With selection bias like that it's not surprising what you get.
- OJFord 1y agoNo, it's why you throw your scrubs in the hospital laundry. Article is about healthcare workers taking their laundry home, and the resulting sustained pathogens in a medical setting.
