Hey there guys I just wanted to ask, do you have to wash your clothes again if it rained? My clothes are all line-hung out in the open and completely exposed to rain, but do I have to wash it again? It's really troublesome but if I have to I will. What do y'all do? I'm in Adelaide Australia!

No its fine. You'll just have to leave them out longer so they dry (obviously :P )

But I wasn't worried about it being wet, more like whether it's clean or not?

 

Umm... i dont know how to reply to this

Thanks.

You should definitely wash them. Can't tell you why but I was always taught to wash them again if the rain makes them wet. I imagine that the rain is filled with microbes and pollution that you don't want on your skin all day whilst wearing them.

when it rains, and it dries off, do you get "dusty" windows?

 

if not that much, its fine :)

yeah then wash it. 

 

also to the microbes thing. its not real. rain forms quite high up, where its cold, so no (almost) microbes live there, and then there is the fact that rainwater is slightly acidic by itself, which kills the microbes. pollution is a problem though, but since you seem to be fine with drying it on the clean air, there probably isnt much smog and stuff like that in your air :)

 

enjoy the washing and let this be a lesson to you, if its supposed to rain, dry them clothes inside ;) (you learn that fast when you start doing it)

If your PC has an AMD video card in it you can just put the clothes beside it and they will dry in 5 minutes :)

I don't normally use the dryer as I find it nicer to line-dry it :/ Didn't expect it to rain too, been on and off these few days as winter just started and I'm running out of clothes :(
