I think family size is the kicker. My kids are really active and exploratory. So residue and odor leaves me needing to do multiple loads a week. I know scientifically when it comes to bacteria and odor I could do the deep freeze/freezer thing…but I just can’t.
There are some items we have to hang dry. Those I can keep on the one hanging rack. If I did it for everything though my 3-4 loads a week means my office/desk/craft space is now basically permanently occupied by laundry. Summer is more feasible…that’s only three months of consitent +13 C for my area though. :'(
IDK your living situation, but that “bit of room” might be a lot in smaller homes. My first room as a college student wouldn’t even fit a full-size drying rack, and it was definitely in the way in most of my places since then. And it’s going to be a lot more often than once every 2 weeks if there’s more than one inhabitant, and depending on what how thick the clothes are and the air humidity, 24h is not enough to dry everything.
My drying rack takes a bit of room for 24h every 2 weeks and folds to non-existence between loads, so I don’t really share that logic.
Plus, it does not try to compete with my water tank on electricity consumption.
