Is leaving washing outside for days unhygienic or fairly normal?

[Fiddlesticks1]

Neighbour leaves washing out for days. If it rains it stays out until it’s dry.
personally I think that is minging. What do others think?

What is unhygienic about being outside?

What’s minging about it? Specifically?

I might be your neighbour!

Oooooo....

How on earth is it unhygienic?

You must be my neighbour

Dd uses our washing line as an alternative wardrobe quite often. But we have a large verandah so nothing gets wet

I leave mine out until it's dry if it's been rained on. I must be a right minger.

What is minging about it? Is it covered in bird poo?

At least she's not as rude as you.

@Fiddlesticks1

I don't understand why you think rainwater is minging? I don't leave mine out for days on end, but if it gets rained on while out there I just see it as a bonus rinse.

Not so much when I lived in central London as it would get covered in 'stuff' , so often needed a rinse & spin cycle.

If washing gets darked on, it's no longer clean

If washing is left out overnight, It'll get "darked on" and spiders will rub their willies on it.

I'm on a train journey home from a long weekend away. I'll put a wash on when I get home around 4.30pm then I'll hang it out before bed. It can stay there till tomorrow when I get home from work. I'm sure it will be perfectly hygienic.

I wouldn’t do it. You only need to look at the car after rain to see how much dirt and dust can fall, but it’s not unhygienic

Absolutely filthy behaviour. What utter beasts!

If you leave your washing on the line for ages, the whites would go yellow and the coloureds would fade. But if my washing were to get wet today, I might leave it until tomorrow before I brought it in.

I’m a minger then 👌🏻

Normal. I've got washing in the machine at the moment and will probably leave it out overnight because no rain is forecast. I don't understand why it would be a problem.

That's quite normal. May be let them do whatever your neighbour wants to do.

I leave it out overnight sometimes if it’s not dried. It’s clean washing and none of your business.

I find dryers more minging - imagine using the earths resources to dry clothes when the sun can do it for free.

Totally normal

It’s not a good idea because the washing never completely dries out and then smells musty. It’s the sort that thing you wish would work but doesn’t really

I don’t like it to get rained on.
