Do you wash your washing again if rained on?

Not a chance! As I mentioned on a thread about hand-washing clothes, I'm not looking for extra work.
Only time I ever had to re-wash something was when a pigeon pooed on my clean duvet cover:mad:.If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
lol a bunch of mixed responses
Having only had to think about it today I think I will leave lightly drizzled washing out to dry but hours and hours of down pour I may rinse/spin again

i would only rewash if it got pooped on or if it was long towels or bedding that hang lower that got caught in a really wet downpour as it may of got mud splashes at the bottom that has only happened once as i was out all day so could not get in and my lawn at the time was a more of a mud pit lolStill TryingGrocery challenge July 2016

No if its really rained it goes through the spinner. My mum used to put it through the wash again, but I have just way too much washing to be doing that:o0

Something I've never really thought about until we got an outdoor rotary line recently ... I've just put freshly washed bed linen out to dry and we've just had a 5 minute light shower while it was out ... now I don't know whether to wash it again or not?!

I think it depends how close you live to a city - I imagine rain is dirtier near city centres due to all the pollution in the air?Taking baby-steps :beer:0
