Well, it's always sunny up there, zero likelihood of rain and the vacuum will dry the clothes post haste.

Don't forget to put name tags on the items.

       That it will. Always wondered how they do laundry in orbit. If there were a fine metal/plastic/synthetic weave fabric that wouldn't pick up stains or body odor they could eliminate washing. The clothes, at any rate.

       Hmm, thinking about it, it'd be better to do the wash itself, with asteroidal water. But, once I get this em-drive up and running, it could all be done with terrestrial water.   

       Installing the "Management not responsible for micro-meteorite damage to clothes" as we speak.

       // viable business plan // if some of the payload is being paid for in the form of clothing intended for micro- meteorite damage, could we save some weight by leaving behind the traditional shielding? Sure, cloth isn't as effective, but if you're bringing 100 pounds of clothes, maybe you could leave behind 10 pounds of traditional shielding.
