When drying your washed clothes in the clothes line and it rains, do you rewash after or not?

What is the best thing to do when your clothes get wet after it rains and the clothes had been washed prior and left to dry in the clothes line outside?

Depends on how clean the rainwater is.

 

So true. After a rainout should the clothes be disposed of after or can they be cleaned?

In many places, the rain is cleaner than the water in which the clothes are washed.

It makes sense to think of the rain as just another rinse.

Good point! Didn't think of that! :)

My grandmother would just leave them on the line another day until they dried.

you will want to throw them out if you leave the clothes wet too long and they go mouldy
