Washing overnight

[overitall1]

Yesterday evening my DH realised that the washing that had been done the previous night was still in the machine. (He should have hung it out as he was WFH and I was in the office). So at 6pm he hung it out.

I TOLD him not too as it would get darked on, but he insisted.

This morning we got up and it was raining. He said 'There, everything will be fine, the rain will have washed off all the dark AND where the spiders willies have rubbed. No need to re wash it'

Dilemma: do I believe him or do I re wash?

It didn’t start on Mumsnet, my great grandmother used to talk about washing being ”Darked on” it goes along with slatterns and those that didn’t wash their step enough and all that sort of bollocks that women judged each other on before they had social media.

I would rewash it.

I told DD not to hang waving out the other afternoon because we were going out, would likely forget about it when we got back and it would get darker on - she was

Have a think, what do you think it could mean

I actually have, and I still can't figure it out. Not everybody here is a native English speaker. Sure, I could google it, but there are many expressions that are hard to get the meaning of by googling.

Native english speaker and as far as I'm aware the dark doesn't stick to things!!

I don't leave my washing out over night but that's mostly because the foxes chew everything left in the garden overnight ( no I'm not sure they'd be able to get onto the washing line but they manage to get everywhere else!)

@StrangeCondition

Darked on needs to go in the fucking bin along with spider willies, pathetic

Cheer up, mate

I'd have rewashed it on a rinse cycle as soon as I'd realised it had been left in the machine for ages!

This morning we got up and it was raining. He said 'There, everything will be fine, the rain will have washed off all the dark AND where the spiders willies have rubbed. No need to re wash it

Heh that's just what mine would say

I'd stick it in for a rinse if it had been raining though, not a full wash.
