    Why would you have to rewash it if it's rained on? Genuine question.

    No, because stuff has been pinched in the past, but I do fold it very, very carefully straight from the washer and put it in a basket.

    I hang it out equally carefully because I LOATHE ironing!

    I often hang out washing overnight and don't have an issue hanging out our underwear, after all, it's not exactly going to come as a shock to anyone that we wear it now, is it?! If people want to ogle my lingerie (or, more worryingly, OHs boxers :eek:) that's their problem, not mine.

    There was a thread on this a while back. It had never occurred to me that anyone would, but it turned out that people do. Not very moneysaving though:).

    and it rained :(

    It is still on the line. Would you re-wash it or just rinse it out?

    Hi calley,

    I wouldn't wash it again unless it was dirty. Some old stylers deliberately choose to put their washing out at night:

    I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the replies together.
