She actually credited her father-in-law with coming up with the idea, which involved weaving a chain link through the normal washing line.
Then, Jess can put her wet washing on hangers, and hang the hangers into the links.
When it’s really windy outside, Jess adds a clip on top to ensure the hangers stay in place.
“I can fit tons of laundry on a very small amount of clothes line using this method,” she said.

Although there’s one item she doesn’t put on hangers – “wet, heavy clothing”, as doing so would “stretch out the shoulders”.
“My father-in-law put this up for us years ago and I’ve marveled at his ingenuity ever since!” Jess concluded.
People were quick to comment on the Instagram post, with one writing: “This is brilliant!
“I bet line drying helps with static. Yes?
“I’ve been trying to ditch the dryer sheets for wool balls but those just aren’t cutting it!”
“I have always used my clothesline, but adding one row of chain is the best idea ever,” another added.
“I have lots of things I like to put on hangers to dry but such a pain on windy days.
“Thanks for the tip!”
“Brilliant!” a third wrote.
“I can’t believe I never thought of this, so simple, but no more clothes all over the ground!”
“Awesome idea friend – whenever I get hubby to put up our line this is happening!” someone else commented.
“This is such a great idea, Jess!” another praised.
As someone else added: “Stop it!!! This is the best idea. I love this.
“Talk about skipping some steps. Thanks for sharing!”
“This is a great idea!” another raved.
“What a great idea. I will definitely be trying that one day,” someone else said.
As another commented: “Brilliant! You always share the best ideas!
“Keep them coming friend! I always learn from you!”
As well as preventing the need for using the tumble dryer, using Jess’ method also means you’re less likely to have to iron your laundry when it’s dry.
Air drying is one of the best ways to get rid of creases and wrinkles in clothes.
