Laundry dilema?
Question:when you've hung out your laundry and you know that there is a good chance that it will rain and it dose do you wash it all again or just hang it to dry in doors.
Answers:
Just keep a close eye on the weather, you can't beat outdoor dried clothes. If you think it's gonna rain, you could just bring it back in again and wait until it goes off again. At least, that's what my mum does and she has a tumble dryer. But then she's also a woman. Sorry lol
I put my dirty clobber on the line and leave it there until it rains.
if its dark colours i just leave them out to dry
Neither, if I think it's going to rain I tumble dry it. I know it's not good for the environment or my bills, but hey there is 5 of us.
If anyone wants to moan at me, feel free to come and get my laundry and we'll see how you'd manage without a tumble dryer!!
Oh no, don't wash it again! Your will to live will be out the window! Just dry it indoors and put your feet up x
it depends on how long it was out in the rain if it was out in the rain say all day then i would put it back in the washer and put it on a fast wash or even just a rinse spin cycle..
No. If this happens I spin the clothes again if necessary and put them on a clothes horse indoors. If its just a quick shower though, I leave them out.
i would just hang it up indoors its only got slightly damp its still clean
Put them in the tumble drier,
We use a dryer.
I would line dry it indoors if I thought it would rain so it doesn't stay wet for too long and get that moldy unfresh smell to it.
just bring it in and spin it then hang to dry inside.or leave it on the line until the next time it's sunny lol
I believe that you should wash it all over again because I don't think that rain is all that clean.
(and I remember my mom and anyone else that
used to hang out laundry, made sure that it
was brought in BEFORE it rained).
i wash it again on a quick wash because laundry that has been outside in the rain smells yuk yuk yuk , just a quick wash will freshen it up its not dirty ,you have just washed it , unless you hang dirty clothes on the line and wait for it to rain throw some washing powder at it then let the rain wash it , save on electric and water bills lol.......
If the washing is soppy, I would bring it in and give it another rinse and spin. If it has only been a bit of a shower and it has stopped raining I would leave it out to dry.
lett it dry, on the line it'll be fine, its only water, withh possible less chemicals in it than the tap water.
An extra rinse does no harm at all.
No, if it is abit damp, i will bring the clothes in and hang them on the clothes horse. If they are soaking wet, i will bring them in and spin them in the washer before hanging them on the clothes horse. Why waste unnessesary water when the clothes are clean in the first place. If they were left out for days and it was raining all the time, then I would put them on a quick wash, and then hang them on the clothes horse or back outside if it is nice.
if it rains on my clothes i bring them in and put them on a softener wash. rainwater hardens the clothes and takes away the nice softener smell if it looks like the weather is not going to take up i hang then inside on clothes horse.
If it is light rain I hang it indoors until dry if very heavy rain then I'd wash it again.
