HANGWASHING FEATURES

Smarter guidance from wash to washing line

HangWashing goes beyond a general weather forecast. It turns changing local conditions into practical guidance for deciding when to wash, when to hang it out and when to bring it back in.

A practical local drying score

See temperature, humidity, sunshine, wind and rain risk translated into one clear 0–100 score for outdoor washing.

Best drying window

Find the first sustained period of useful drying conditions, with clear guidance on whether to wait, make a safe early start while conditions improve, hang washing out now or plan for the next window.

Hour-by-hour conditions

Explore the next forecast hours and select any hour to reveal its temperature, humidity, wind speed and individual drying score, with strong gusts highlighted when relevant.

Load-aware drying times and alerts

Choose one or more types of washing—from quick-dry sportswear to towels, jeans and bedding. HangWashing revises the full-load estimate as the forecast changes, can notify you when it may be dry and can preselect your saved usual load.

Drying-space adjustments

Optionally describe permanent shade, shelter from the wind and whether you use a washing line or rotary dryer. HangWashing uses this to refine drying scores and likely-dry times without changing the displayed weather readings.

Seven-day outlook

Compare the week’s drying prospects and jump directly to the highest-scoring day when planning future loads.

Optional device and email alerts

Select ‘I’ve hung it out’ and HangWashing will check the forecast every 15 minutes for up to 12 hours. Choose notifications on your device or email for likely-dry and deteriorating-weather alerts.

Bring-it-in guidance

Get a recommended bring-in time before conditions deteriorate, or an immediate warning when that safe time has already passed.

Plan your next load

See when a wash should finish so it can catch the best usable drying window, with optional email updates if the forecast timing changes.

Saved locations and preferences

Use forecasts without an account, remember a location on one device, or sign in to securely sync saved locations and alert choices.

Install it on your phone

Add HangWashing to a supported phone’s home screen and open it in its own app-like window for quicker everyday access.

Useful without requiring an account

Anyone can check a postcode forecast, drying score and seven-day outlook. Accounts are optional and are used only for features that need saved preferences or alerts.

Privacy remains a feature

HangWashing does not require a profile for ordinary forecasts. Location memory, account history, device notifications and email alerts remain user-controlled, while Google or secure email codes handle authentication without HangWashing storing passwords.
