Mother shares brilliant washing trick that saves time and effort when hanging clothes to dry

A mother has gone viral with her hack for getting clothes to dry quicker and easier than usual.

Of course, here in Ireland, we're well used to the 'great bit of drying out there' that lasts throughout the summer months.

But by the time you get everything loaded out of the washing machine, into the basket or hamper, find your pegs for the clothes horse or clothes line, bring them out, throw them up and then make sure everything's holding steady, it can be a real ordeal.

Enter Leralynn, who posts on TikTok under the username @leralynn27, who said that rather than emptying her washing machine into a laundry basket, she takes each item out and lays them on top of one another in a pile.

Then, the mum simply picks the pile up and throws it over her shoulder, before walking outside and quickly placing each item on the line in no time at all - without having to bend down to take items out of a basket or having to make sure any items are properly unfolded.

She wrote on the clip: "My laundry life hack that I started doing randomly one day and it is the best!"

And in the video's caption, she added: "My laundry hack which I explain to people and they think I'm crazy! But it ACTUALLY works! Undies and socks in the dryer, big things on the line. This saves me time and bending down!"

Commenters on the video were amazed by Leralynn's hack, with many people saying it was "so much better" than having to constantly bend down to get items out of a basket.

One person said: "That's so much better than bending down into the basket for them!"

While another added: "My nanny taught me this! It does make a HUGE difference when it comes to hanging! Love that you shared it."

And a third wrote: "I thought I was the only one who did this because I was too lazy to put them in a basket and then bend down every time."

But others were less impressed, saying her method of hanging things on the line would result in "peg marks" in the middle of her clothes - although the mum insisted she's never had that problem.
