Re wash or not bother

As I was hanging out my second load of towels today.  I discovered that contractors for my neighbours had been mixing cemet/concrete.  Its was about 12ft away over a 6ft fence away from my washing.  we have had a light wind today.  I know cement is very fine.   So not sure if I should re wash or just leave it as it is and hope for the best.

    Maybe just give them a rinse once the contractors are finished making their mud pies?

    fyi - give THEM refers to the laundry not the contractors.  Though a good hosing down might let them know they should warn people about this sort of thing....
