Savvy mum's 'genius' washing line trick hangs clothes out perfectly in seconds
Whether you have a big family or not, some weeks it can feel like you're constantly washing clothes and hanging them out to dry. It's a never-ending cycle and all these precious minutes can add up when you have a busy life, like most of us do. Even though the summer is coming to an end, and the winter months are looming, many of us will still be hanging clothes outside on sunny days as a way of saving money - but it can be a real pain and takes a lot of time.
Although it might be more time-efficient to chuck all the clothes in the tumble dryer, this appliance is a big energy guzzler, and many will opt to hang up clothes if they have the space. Luckily, one savvy mum has shared a 'genius' hack that allows you to put out your clothes on the line in a jiffy - without all the faff of putting out each item one by one. And it's a real game-changer for busy parents or households who are trying to get the dreaded chore done quickly.

The hack makes the dreaded task fly by (@kira.bro1 / TikTok)The woman's daughter, posting under the social media handle @kira.bro1, took to TikTok to reveal just how proud her mother is for sharing this hack. The footage voiceover and caption reads: "My mum wanted the people of TikTok her washing line hack" and shows the cheery mum hanging out her washing in a speedy fashion.
Detailing exactly how the trick works, the woman grabs her washing line - the type that runs from one end of the garden to the other rather than a standalone unit that branches out as you open it - and threads her pile of washing through the line as the pulls it. She then travels back to the other end of the line, dragging the washing pile along with her on top of the cord, and then proceeds to pull each item of clothing across the washing line in seconds, revealing perfectly hung washing without any of the faff.
The washing line cord essentially acts as a track for the washing to hang onto perfectly, without the need for pegs. Vest tops and T-shirts are shown threaded through the line, making the clever tip speedy but also effective, as each garment is hung out evenly. The viral video, which has racked up 10.4million views on the platform, has left people mind-blown thanks to just how simple the washing trick is. Thousands of people flocked to the comments section to share how gobsmacked they were, eager to try the hack.

One TikTok user said: "Your mom is brilliant" while another added "superb idea". Many people were disappointed to have only come across the clever tip now after they'd wasted years faffing over the washing line. One commenter wrote: "I've had these washing lines for 7 years - why have I never thought of this?!! Genius!" while another said "work smarter not harder".
Others were quick to question what would happen if it started to rain, as the clothes being attached to the line could prove tricky to remove in a hurry. One said: "I love the concept but when the rain suddenly appears how does she frantically grab it off the line". One person shared their own washing line tip, saying: "We put each item on a hanger and put on clothes line with hooks for hanger. Easier to gather when dry".
