    Hi calley,

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

    Pink

    I do leave it out often as it saves me time in the morning. But it rained over night :(

    Will take a peek at the thread suggested.

    Thanks

    Yours

    Calley

  • If it smells then I'd rewash it, if it's just a little wet then I'd just get it dry and leave it!

    There's nothing worse than putting a cardigan on, getting to work and then realising it absolutely stinks. :(

    I left mine too, but it will stay out for the rest of the day as its looking fine. The only time I put washing back in the machine is if its been out for more than a day and its dripping wet. I give it a rinse and a spin only.

    for stain removal I will often leave a T-shirt on the line. No idea what my husband does to them.

    I will bring them in after a week and the stain is gone. I will stick it back in the wash then.

  • I often leave my washing out overnight usually because Ive forgotten to bring it in. In the winter though I hang my towels out and leave them overnight so they freeze, then leave them to defrost and dry on the line. Result is lovely soft fluffy towels!

    if the washing gets really wet I put it back in the machine on the rinse and spin cycle with a drop more fabric conditioner or vinegar (whichever I am using at the time). I dont know if its just where I live, but if you leave it dry it smells peculiar!
